Etten, Drenthe and The Hague

Van Gogh's parents moved to the Etten

countryside in April 1881. He continued to draw, often using his neighbours as subjects.
He went on long walks with his recently widowed cousin, Kee Vos-Stricker, daughter of his mother's older sister and Johannes Stricker. Kee was seven years older and had an eight-year-old son. He proposed marriage but was refused with the words "No, nay, never"

Kee would not meet him, her parents wrote that

his "persistence is disgusting." In desperation, he held his left hand in the flame of a lamp, with the words: "Let me see her for as long as I can keep my hand in the flame." He did not recall the event well, but later assumed that his uncle blew out the flame. Keen's father made it clear to him that Kee's refusal should be heeded and that the two would not be marriedbecause of Van Gogh's inability to support himself.

He settled in The Hague in January

1882, where he visited his cousin-in-law, Anton Mauve. Mauve introduced him to painting in oil and watercolour and lent money to set up a studio, but they fell out, possibly over the viability of drawing from plaster casts. Van Gogh's uncle Cornelis, an art dealer, commissioned 12 ink drawings of views of the city which Van Gogh completed soon after arriving there, along with seven other drawings that May. In June he suffered a bout of gonorrhoea and spent three weeks in hospital, then began to paint in oil.

Emerging artist

In Nuenen, Van Gogh devoted himself to painting and drawing,

and gave money to boys to gather birds' nests for subject matter. He completed several sketches and paintings of weavers and their cottages. In late 1884, Margot Begemann, a neighbour's daughter and ten years his senior, often joined him on his painting forays. She fell in love, and he reciprocated – though less enthusiastically. They decided to marry, but the idea was opposed by both families. As a result, Margot took an overdose of strychnine. She was saved when Van Gogh rushed her to a nearby hospital. On 26 March 1885, his father died of a heart attack.

Emerging artist

For the first time there was interest from Paris in

his work. In May he completed what is generally considered his first major work, The Potato Eaters, the culmination of several years work painting peasant character studies. In August his work was first exhibited in the windows of the paint dealer Leurs in The Hague. After one of his young peasant sitters became pregnant that September, Van Gogh was accused of forcing himself upon her and the village priest forbade parishioners from modelling for him.

Paris

Van Gogh travelled to Paris in March 1886, where he shared

Theo's Rue Laval apartment in Montmartre, to study at Fernand Cormon's studio. In June, they took a larger flat at 54 Rue Lepic. Because they had no need to write letters to communicate, little is known about this stay in Paris.[ In Paris, he painted portraits of friends and acquaintances, still-life paintings, views of Le Moulin de la Galette, scenes in Montmartre, Asnières, and along the Seine. During his stay, he collected more Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints; he also became interested in Japonaiserie when, in 1885 in Antwerp, he used them to decorate the walls of his studio. He collected hundreds of prints, examples of which are visible in the backgrounds of several of his paintings; several can be seen hanging on the wall of his 1887 Portrait of Père Tanguy. In The Courtesan or Oiran (after Kesai Eisen) (1887), Van Gogh traced the figure from a reproduction on the cover of the magazine Paris Illustre, which he then graphically enlarged in the painting

Artistic breakthrough and final years Move to Arles (1888–89)

His paintings include harvests, wheat fields, and general rural landmarks from the area, including The Old Mill (1888), a picturesque structure bordering the wheat fields.This was one of seven canvases sent to Pont-Aven on 4 October 1888

Gauguin's visit

When Gauguin wish to visit Arles, Van Gogh hoped for

friendship, and the realisation of his utopian idea of an artists' collective. That August he painted sunflowers. When Boch visited again, Van Gogh painted a portrait of him, as well as the study The Poet Against a Starry Sky. Boch's sister Anna (1848–1936), also an artist, purchased The Red Vineyard in 1890.[84]
In preparation for Gauguin's visit, Van Gogh bought two beds on advice from his friend, the station's postal supervisor Joseph Roulin, whose portrait he painted. On 17 September he spent the first night in the still sparsely furnished Yellow House When Gauguin consented to work and live in Arles with him, Van Gogh started to work on The Décoration for the Yellow House, probably the most ambitious effort he ever undertook.] Van Gogh completed two chair paintings: Van Gogh's Chair and Gauguin's Chair
