The tale of Vincent van Gogh stands as one of the most heart-rending in the annals of art. Whilst today he is revered globally as a painterly genius, with exhibitions drawing throngs of admirers and his works fetching astronomical sums at auction, van Gogh's life was marked by struggle and anguish.
As he daubed the canvases that would later become priceless masterpieces, the Dutch artist grappled not only with the indifference of his contemporaries but also with crippling mental health issues. Bouts of melancholia and paralysing anxiety plagued him, ultimately leading to his untimely demise by his own hand in 1890, mere months after his 37th birthday.
This definitive tome on Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) marries an exhaustive chronicle of his life and artistic journey with a complete catalogue raisonné of his 871 paintings. Penned by Rainer Metzger, "Van Gogh: The Complete Paintings" offers readers an unparalleled insight into the turbulent existence and enduring legacy of this tortured genius.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
