GET TO know the history of artist Van Gogh, in the second of three talks that delve into the life of the troubled painter.

Art historian Juliet Heslewood will speak tomorrow from 1pm at the Ashmolean about the influence of Paris on his work.

Van Gogh joined his supportive brother in Paris where his exposure to the work of the Impressionists lightened his palette forever. Responding to contemporary ideas there, he began to form his distinctive style.
