Overview
Learn about the often-troubled life of Dutch-born painter, Vincent van Gogh, as told through the eyes of his (fictious) young assistant, Peter. Peter chronicles van Gogh's earliest works in the Netherlands from his travels to Antwerp and Paris. The story shares the disappointments van Gogh endured with the lack of success in selling his paintings, his personal struggles, and how he only became known as one of the greatest artists of all time after his death at age 37. Beautiful chronologically arranged reproductions of many of his paintings are featured throughout the book. Includes further reading and website recommendations, maps, glossary, and index. Content developed for young readers, grades 1-4 (ages 5-8) and is part of the acclaimed Renaissance Accelerated Reader program.
