What was Van Gogh’s mood a few days before he died?
Vincent van Gogh seems to have been full of energy and devotion.
"I’m applying myself to my canvases with all my attention, I’m trying to do as well as certain painters whom I’ve liked and admired a great deal.”
Auvers-sür-Oise, July 1890
Oil on canvas
73.5 x 92 cm
Neue Pinakothek, Munich, Germany.
And only 4 days later Van Gogh got shot / shot himself and died two days later on 29 July 1890.
