See comments for a video about Master Illustrator Gustave Doré, from the extensive and informative series by Pete Beard on the great Golden Age illustrators. Well worth exploring.

Vincent van Gogh died 129 years ago today. ‘I feel – a failure – that’s it as regards me – I feel that that’s the fate I’m accepting. And which won’t change any more’, wrote Vincent in May 1890 to his brother Theo and sister-in-law Jo. He painted his final painting the previous morning. Andries Bonger, Theo’s brother-in-law, described the work in a letter: ‘The morning before his death, he had painted a sous-bois [forest scene], full of sun and life’. And yet Vincent ended his life.
