InfluenceThe link here runs one way and is recorded plainly: Paul Gauguin appears among the influences on Van Gogh. Both are post-impressionists, both listed as painters, draughtsmen and printmakers, and their genres overlap exactly: portrait, landscape, still life. Gauguin is the elder by five years — 1848 against 1853. Van Gogh is remembered for «The Starry Night» and «Sunflowers», Gauguin for his Tahitian canvases, «The Yellow Christ» and «When Will You Marry?».
