In the second of a two-part art-travel feature on Van Gogh, art writer Rosalind Ormiston goes back to the region he called home, the places of his early life and career in the region of Brabant… There's been a surge of interest in Van Gogh this year, with many exhibitions in the UK and mainland Europe. He lived just 37 years, with his career as a painter lasting a mere ten years from 1880 until 1890 when, living near Paris, in Auvers-sur-Oise, he killed himself (see part one, Van Gogh in Auvers). In that short span, Vincent – as he signed his letters and art - left near 900 paintings, about 1000 drawings, and more than 800 letters written to his family and friends. His remarkable art and fact-filled letters draw people to Brabant in the southern Netherlands, where he was born, to discover the artist beyond the paintings. Exhibitions aside, Van Gogh 'pilgrims' visit Brabant to see it through his eyes, travelling though the countryside he knew, to visit where he lived
