The Van Gogh Woman - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

It is 1887 in Amsterdam, and Johanna Bonger dreams of a life beyond teaching schoolchildren, translating books, and managing her father’s insurance office. At twenty-four, she fears her future holds little more than loneliness and the quiet regret of missed opportunity. But everything changes when her brother introduces her to Theo van Gogh.

Theo, a sophisticated art dealer living in Paris, opens Johanna’s world to the daring artists and modern thinkers shaping the future. Drawn to his charm and vision, Johanna agrees to marry him and leave behind the restrictions of her conventional life. As she enters the avant-garde circles of Paris, she encounters his troubled brother, Vincent van Gogh—a brilliant but tormented painter whose fierce devotion to his art threatens to destroy him.

At first, Johanna questions why Theo invests so much in supporting Vincent, whose fragile mental state and stubborn pride sabotage his career at every turn. But after devastating loss strikes their family, Johanna makes a bold choice. She dedicates herself to preserving Vincent’s work and ensuring his genius is finally recognized. Her determination transforms not only her own life but also the legacy of one of history’s greatest artists.

The Van Gogh Woman is an inspiring story of love, sacrifice, and vision. Based on true events, it reveals how one woman’s courage and conviction brought Vincent van Gogh’s art out of obscurity and into the hearts of millions.
