## What is Van Gogh?

Van Gogh: Paintings & Letters is an interactive encyclopedia of Vincent van Gogh's complete work — every one of his 886 known paintings and 903 surviving letters, sourced from public-domain records and curated into a single browsable catalog.

The free tier is the complete catalog. Browse all 886 paintings with image, title, date, and place; filter the gallery by life-period, genre, series, or color; favorite the ones you want to find again; magnify any detail with a draggable lens; share to Messages, Mail, or anywhere else iOS supports. Read all 903 letters in English, grouped by year. Travel through Vincent's life by Journey — Arles, Saint-Rémy, Auvers, and the rest.

The optional Palette Tools unlock ($7.99, one-time, no subscription, no account) adds detail-level palette extraction to every painting page: a 5-swatch strip pulled from the image itself, a tap-to-pick color picker over the hero, and a Similar Palettes row that surfaces other paintings sharing the same color signature.

No tracking. No analytics. No ads. No data collection. Your favorites and reading position live on your device and never leave it. Painting images load from Wikimedia Commons; in-app purchases are handled by Apple's StoreKit and never reach a server we operate.
