Van Gogh has only sold one painting during his lifetime. The Red Vineyard is among Van Gogh’s most dramatically coloured Provençal landscapes, now located at the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. It went for 400 francs (then £16) at a Brussels exhibition in March 1890, four months before his suicide. Some sources posit that different paintings sold first, and that other paintings and drawings were sold or bartered in addition to The Red Vineyard at Arles. However, it is true that The Red Vineyard at Arles is the only painting sold during van Gogh's lifetime the name of which we actually know, and that was "officially" recorded and acknowledged by the art world, and hence the lore persists. Van Gogh didn't start painting until he was twenty-seven years old, and died when he was thirty-seven, it would not be unremarkable that he did not sell many. Furthermore, the paintings that were to become famous were the ones produced after he went to Arles, France in 1888, only two years before he died. What is remarkable is that just a few decades after his death, his art would become well-known worldwide and that he would eventually become one of the most famous artists ever.
