He perceived colors as if they were being illuminated by an internal light - but not as if they were aglow. The colors were simply bright from within. He painted with energy, with a distinguishable force. Even today, over 120 years since his passing, his paintings retain a vibrancy that no artist has since been able to duplicate. It was as if he sculpted on canvas with color. the branches of his trees appeared to climb the canvas, the wheat fields seemed to be undulating under the force of strong winds.
The tormented Dutchman captured emotion on canvas like no other, and like no other he has left a legacy that depicts the powerful grace and unparalleled beauty of the natural world.
