He had a lust for life. Sometimes he was brutal, sometimes delicate – always he lived with insatiable passion!

Supported by his brother, Theo, the tormented Van Gogh eventually leaves Holland for France, where he meets volatile fellow painter Paul Gauguin and struggles to find greater inspiration.
