.

In the early 1880s, French artists grew dissatisfied with Impressionism, critiquing its neglect of traditional elements in favor of capturing transient light and color effects. This shift heralded the post-Impressionist movement, which emphasized line, pattern, form, and color over Impressionism's atmospheric studies. Leaders like Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Georges Seurat, and Vincent van Gogh initially drew on Impressionist techniques but soon diverged, profoundly influencing modern Western painting. Van Gogh, deeply impacted by his time as a missionary and his struggles with mental health, infused his art with intense emotion and expressive color, utilizing uneven lines and repetitive brushstrokes to convey the harsh realities of life. His approach culminated in works like Thatched Cottages at Cordeville, painted in 1890, the year of his death, showcasing his unique style and emotional depth.
