This Gallery will only showcase works by Vincent Van Gogh depicting houses. The artworks shown here are listed in chronological order. The depictions are predominantly created by oil on canvas, and with a few created by Charcoal on wove paper. There is a noticeable change in Vincent Van Gogh's Art style over the 11 years since his first drawing shown on this gallery. Of course the transition from charcoal to oils on canvas, but the depictions become less naturalistic and more abstracted in his later artworks.(GALLERY CREATED BY ANDREW TRAN)
