Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) war ein niederländischer Maler des Post-Impressionismus, der vor seiner künstlerischen Laufbahn als evangelischer Laienprediger in Belgien gewirkt hatte. Er ist bekannt für seine ausdrucksstarke Malerei sowie seinen umfangreichen Briefwechsel, in dem er existenzielle Krisen, soziales Elend und eine tiefe Verbundenheit mit der Natur reflektierte. Für Bibelleser bieten seine Gedanken ein Zeugnis für das Ringen um Glauben, Barmherzigkeit und die Gegenwart Gottes im einfachen, oft leidvollen Alltag.
