The early works of Vincent van Gogh is a group of paintings and drawings that Vincent van Gogh made when he was 27 and 28, in 1881 and 1882, his first two years of serious artistic exploration.
Over the course of the two-year period Van Gogh lived in several places.
He left Brussels, where he had studied for about a year in 1881, to return to his parent's home in Etten, Netherlands where he made studies of some of the residents of the town.
In January 1882 Van Gogh went to The Hague where he studied with his cousin-in-law Anton Mauve and set up a studio, funded by Mauve.
During the ten years of Van Gogh's artistic career from 1881 to 1890 Vincent's brother Theo would be a continuing source of inspiration and financial support; his first financial support began in 1880 funding Vincent while he lived in Brussels.
In 1882 Van Gogh had an offer for a commission of paintings of The Hague however the paintings, now considered masterpieces, were not acceptable.
Van Gogh started out primarily drawing and painting with watercolor.
Under Mauve's tutelage Van Gogh began painting with oils in 1882.
A subject that fascinated Van Gogh was the working class or peasant, inspired by the works of Jean-François Millet and others. 
In 1880 when he was 27 years-old, Van Gogh decided to become an artist.
In October of that year he moved to Brussels and began a beginner's course of study.
Van Gogh returned to Etten in April 1881 to live with his parents and studied art on his own.
His younger brother Theo, an art dealer at the main branch of Goupil & Cie, encouraged him and started covering Van Gogh's expenses.
Van Gogh used images from illustrated magazines to teach himself how to draw.
Charles Bargue, a French artist, wrote two books on drawing that were a significant source of study for Van Gogh.
Both written in 1871, one is "Cours de dessin" and the other "Exercises au fusain pour préparer à l’étude de l’académie d’après nature," Van Gogh created copies of the drawings or adapted nude images for clothed depictions.
In January 1882, he settled in The Hague where he called on his cousin-in-law, the painter Anton Mauve (1838–88).
Mauve introduced him to painting in both oil and watercolor and lent him money to set up a studio.
Van Gogh began drawing people from the working poor, including the prostitute Clasina Maria "Sien" Hoornik (1850–1904, with whom he would become involved.
Van Gogh dreamed his studio would one day become a form of respite for the poor where they could receive food, shelter and money for posing.
His work was not well received; Mauve and H.G.
Tersteeg, manager of Goupil & Cie, considered the drawings coarse and lacking charm.
Van Gogh likened the subjects "unrefined" characteristics of his drawings to harsh "yellow soap" made of lye.
Van Gogh's relationship with Sien changed as they lived together with Maria, her five-year-old daughter, to the great disappointment of his family.
Mauve appears to have suddenly gone cold towards Van Gogh and did not return a number of his letters, Van Gogh supposed that Mauve did not approve of his domestic arrangement with Sien and her young daughter.
Van Gogh created a number of drawings of Sien and her daughter.
Having ended his relationship with Sien, Van Gogh moved to Drenthe in September 1883 and painted landscapes.
Three months later, he moved back in with his parents, who were at that point living in Nuenen.
In 1884, Van Gogh created the weaver series, works of rural life and landscapes.
For a brief period of time, he gave painting lessons in Eindhoven.
Near the end of the year, Van Gogh began experimenting with complementary colors, influenced by the color theories of Charles Blanc.
Vincent made many studies of peasants in 1885, culminating in his first major painting, "The Potato Eaters."
In his works, Van Gogh used particularly somber colors and colors mixed with black, which he felt was like that of 17th-century masters, such as Frans Hals.
His brother, Theo van Gogh (art dealer) had asked him often to lighten up his work, referring to the work of the Impressionists.
Once Van Gogh went to Paris, he did open up his palette to color and light and admitted that his works from this period were old-fashioned.
Theodorus van Gogh, Vincent's father, died March 26, 1885.
In November, Vincent moved to Antwerp. 
While Van Gogh was in Saint-Rémy, his brother, Theo and artist Camille Pissarro developed a plan for Van Gogh to go to Auvers-sur-Oise with a letter of introduction for Dr. Paul Gachet a homeopathic physician and art patron who lived in Auvers.
The plan also included him staying at a nearby inn while under the doctor's care.
Van Gogh had a room at the nearby Auberge Ravoux.
Van Gogh developed a close relationship with the doctor who he described as "something like another brother."
From the first meeting, though, Van Gogh sensed that Dr. Gachet may have been as ill as he.
In a letter from May 20, 1890, Van Gogh wrote, "I have seen Dr. Gachet, who made the impression on me of being rather eccentric, but his experience as a doctor must keep him balanced while fighting the nervous trouble from which he certainly seems to me to be suffering at least as seriously as I."
Van Gogh's painting "Couples in the Voyer d'Argenson Park at Asnières" (F314) was referred to by Van Gogh as "the painting of the garden with sweethearts."
The title at the Van Gogh Museum is "Garden with courting couples: Square Saint-Pierre, 1887".
The summer park scene, one of his largest canvases, was one of the first paintings that Van Gogh exhibited in Paris.
Here Van Gogh integrated what he had learned of Impressionism and Pointillism from artists such as Georges Seurat and Paul Signac into his own version of Pointillism.
He used a combination of carefully placed small dots and more expressive dashes, like those in the sky, of varying color placed side by side into what is considered his most pointillistic painting.
Van Gogh used Divisionism techniques to paint woven fabrics, such as the couple in an Asnières park who share an interlocking pattern in their woven clothes.
He collected yarn in different colors and tones to test color contrasts, just as Michel Eugène Chevreul had when he developed his theory on complementary color.
The Van Gogh Museum claims that the painting was made in or near Montmartre which about 7 kilometers from Asnières. 
Adeline Ravoux, the innkeeper's daughter who was only 13 at the time, clearly recalls the incidents of July 1890.
In an account written when she was 76, reinforced by her father's repeated reminders, she explains how on 27 July, van Gogh left the inn after breakfast.
When he had not returned by dusk, given the artist's regular habits, the family became worried.
He finally arrived after nightfall, probably around 9 pm, holding his stomach.
Adeline's mother asked whether there was a problem.
van Gogh started to answer with difficulty, "No, but I have..." as he climbed the stairs up to his room.
Her father thought he could hear groans and found van Gogh curled up in bed.
When he asked whether he was ill, van Gogh showed him a wound near his heart explaining: "I tried to kill myself."
During the night, van Gogh explained he had set out for the wheat field where he had recently been painting.
During the afternoon he had shot himself with a revolver and passed out.
Revived by the coolness of the evening, he had tried in vain to find the revolver to complete the act.
He then returned to the inn.
Adeline goes on to explain how her father sent Anton Hirschig, also a Dutch artist staying in the inn, to alert the local physician who proved to be absent.
He then called on van Gogh's friend and physician, Dr Gachet, who dressed the wound but left immediately, considering it a hopeless case.
Her father and Hirsching spent the night at van Gogh's bedside.
The artist sometimes smoked, sometimes groaned but remained silent almost all night long, dozing off from time to time.
The following morning, two gendarmes visited the inn, questioning van Gogh about his attempted suicide.
In response, he simply replied: "My body is mine and I am free to do what I want with it.
Do not accuse anybody, it is I that wished to commit suicide.
"As soon as the post office opened on the Monday morning, Adeline's father sent a telegram to van Gogh's brother, Theo, who arrived by train during the afternoon.
Adeline Ravoux explains how the two of them watched over van Gogh who fell into a coma and died at about one o'clock in the morning.
(The death certificate records the time of death as 1.30 am.)
In a letter to his sister Lies, Theo told of his brother's feelings just before his death: "He himself wanted to die.
When I sat at his bedside and said that we would try to get him better and that we hoped that he would then be spared this kind of despair, he said, ""La tristesse durera toujours"" (The sadness will last forever).
I understood what he wanted to say with those words."
In her memoir of December 1913, Theo's wife Johanna refers first to a letter from her husband after his arrival at Vincent's bedside: "He was glad that I came and we are together all the time... Poor fellow, very little happiness fell to his share, and no illusions are left him.
The burden grows too heavy at times, he feels so alone..." And after his death, he wrote: "One of his last words was, 'I wish I could pass away like this,' and his wish was fulfilled.
A few moments and all was over.
He had found the rest he could not find on earth..." Émile Bernard, an artist and friend of van Gogh, who arrived in Auvers on 30 July for the funeral, tells a slightly different story, explaining that van Gogh went out into the countryside on the Sunday evening, "left his easel against a haystack and went behind the château and fired a revolver shot at himself."
He tells us how van Gogh had said that "his suicide had been absolutely deliberate and that he had done it in complete lucidity...
When Dr Gachet told him that he still hoped to save his life, van Gogh replied, 'Then I'll have to do it over again.'"
