Vincent Van Gogh: The Letters http://www.vangoghletters.org/vg/

This collection of letters to and by Vincent Van Gogh, provided courtesy of the Van Gogh Museum and the Huygens Institute, focuses on Van Gogh's abilities as a communicator across several expressive traditions.

900+ letters by period, correspondent, place, complete, or with sketches by the master himself.

This is the first time, the letters written by Vincent Van Gogh, complete with detailed annotations and illustrations from the master himself, have appeared as part of a complete digital edition. The letters were edited by Leo Jansen, Hans Luijten and Nineke Bakker, which include those from many of Van Gogh's contemporaries, such as Paul Gauguin, and of course, his brother, Theo.

Additional sections "Van Gogh as a letter-writer", "Correspondents", "Biographical & historical context", and "Publication History".
