Abstract 

This research on “Vincent Van Gogh's role in the rise of Post Impressionism” had little introduction of the post-impressionism, and the introduction of Vincent van Gogh, about van Gogh early life, their inspiration and how he starts that new art movement called post impressionism and afterwords this research shows detailed view of the crucial role of Vincent van Gogh in the rise and development of the post-impressionism art movement, which emerged in the late 19th century. This movement starts against the limitations of impressionism. Impressionist artists focused on capturing the fleeting effects of light and colour in everyday scenes, and a post-impressionist artist focused on the surface appearances to explore deeper emotional and symbolic content. Van Gogh contributed to the post-impressionism art movement with his unique and powerful painting style, which shows bold colours, expressive brushstrokes, and dramatic composition. Van Gogh's work was intensely personal. He used to paint, not just depict the world around him, but to communicate his inner feelings, psychological states, and spiritual struggles. His famous works include The Starry Night, Sunflowers, and Wheatfield with Crows. Van Gogh was influenced by artists such as Jean-Francois Millet and Japanese prints. Van Gogh also laid the foundation for the later modernist movement and inspired artists like Henri Matisse, Edvard Munch, and the German expressionists. He committed suicide at the early age of 37 years due to mental illness. Keywords: Vincent van Gogh, Post-Impressionism, dramatic composition, Starry Night, brushstrokes.
