Square Saint-Pierre at Sunset' (1887) : It takes a while to figure out what makes this painting so unusual. Van Gogh'sky largely yellow and the foreground blue. This was his way of suggesting the fall of night. The painting clearly shows that Square Saint-Pierre in Paris was a fairly new park in Van Gogh's day. The trees are still young. Now called Square Louise-Michel, it leads up to the Sacr� Coeur Basilica, one of the city's most famous churches. *Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) : Van Gogh is a Dutch post-impressionist painter who is among the most known and powerful figures within the history of Western art.�His paintings embrace landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits; defined by vibrant colors and dramatic, impulsive and communication technique that contributed to the foundations of recent art.
