The image of van Gogh as a disturbed and forsaken artist is so strong that one easily reads it back into his childhood and adolescence. But if van Gogh had died at age of twenty, no one would have connected him with failure or mental illness. Instead he would have been remembered by those close to him as a competent and dutiful son with a promising career in the family art-detailing business. He was, in fact, poised to surpass his father and to come closer to living up to the much-esteemed van Gogh name .
The van Goghs were an old and distinguished Dutch family who could trace their lineage in Holland back to the sixteenth century. Among Vincent’s five uncles, one reached the highest rank of vice-admiral in the Navy and three others prospered as successful art dealers. Van Gogh’s grandfather. also named Vincent, had attained an equally illustrious status as an intellectually accomplished Protestant minister. The comparatively modest achievements of the artist’s father, Theodorus, proved the exception, not the rule. Although Theodorus was the only one of grandfather Vincent’s six sons to follow him into the ministry, he faltered as a preacher and could obtain only modest positions in provincial churches.
选项
答案
但是梵高若在二十岁就离开了人世,那就没有人会把他与失败或精神疾病联系起来。相反,在接近他的那些人的心目中,他全是一个既能干,又孝顺的好儿子,在家传的艺术品交易生意中颇有前途。他实际上快要超过他的父亲,马上就能为颇有声望的梵高家族光耀门楣了。 梵高家族是荷兰的名门望族,家史悠久,可以追溯到十六世纪。文森特的五个叔伯中,一位官拜军阶最高的海军中将,另外三位是事业有成的艺术品交易商。梵高的祖父(也叫文森特)则是一位知识渊博的新教牧师,地位同样显赫。相比之下,艺术来的父亲西奥多勒斯却成就平平,在人人出色的家族里算是个例外。
