A number of drawings and paintings of previously unknown locals are finally afforded names and backgrounds. Prominent amongst these is a portrait of a young girl to whom the artist is especially attracted. When she is found murdered, suspicion falls on Van Gogh. Harassed by both a tireless police inspector and a majority of the citizens of Arles, the painter descends into the madness and despair, culminating in his slicing off part of an ear while remaining sufficiently lucid to identify - and paint - the man he suspects of the crime. Circumstances and characters pertaining to the murder define aspects of Van Gogh's personality, as well as portraying a way of life in nineteenth century France remarkably similar to present day problems in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45165328302231,"sku":"9781450202930","price":1402.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781450202930.webp?v=1767307056","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/van-gogh-arles-murder-9781450202930","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
