Discover how a brother’s love and a widow’s dedication brought Van Gogh’s masterpieces to the world
Vincent Van Gogh created over 2,000 artworks during his life but sold only one painting. His genius went largely unrecognized in his time.
Johanna, married to Vincent’s brother Theo, was widowed in 1891—just months after Vincent’s death. She inherited a vast collection of Vincent’s unsold works.
Johanna believed in Vincent’s vision. She tirelessly cataloged his works, corresponded with art dealers, and organized exhibitions across Europe.
In 1905, Johanna arranged a major Van Gogh exhibition in Amsterdam. It was pivotal in establishing his legacy as a master of modern art.
Without Johanna’s dedication, Vincent Van Gogh’s art might have remained obscure. Her work preserved his legacy, making him one of the most celebrated artists of all time.
