The Early Years: A Path to Artistic Discovery

This period marked a transformative chapter in van Gogh's career, as he embraced the innovative techniques of post-impressionism. His palette became more vibrant, his brushstrokes more expressive, and his subjects increasingly centered on the human figure and the urban landscape.
