Less than two years after their wedding, Johanna van Gogh is left alone with her newborn son in her arms. The death of her husband, Theo, leaves her with a bitter legacy: an empty bank account and hundreds of paintings by her brother-in-law, Vincent, branded a radical and a creator of ugliness by his contemporaries. Instead of accepting the fate of a grieving widow, Johanna defies tradition and resolves to promote the work of the disgraced artist. In her hands, Vincent's letters, full of joy, despair, and sincere vulnerability, become the key to understanding his talent. But the young woman's ingenuity and tenacity collide with the resistance of an influential Parisian art dealer. Johanna van Gogh, possessed of exceptional intuition, defied all odds to preserve Vincent's paintings and make them public property. The artist, who never sold a single painting during his lifetime, stands in the same rank as Leonardo, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Monet and Picasso.
