van Gogh
Sunflowers artist, Dutch
Van Gogh is the surname of Vincent van Gogh, the Dutch Post-Impressionist painter known for bold brushwork and vivid color in works like *Starry Night* and *Sunflowers*.
The lowercase "van" follows Dutch naming conventions, where particles are lowercase when the full name is used but capitalized when the surname stands alone: a van Gogh painting, Van Gogh's influence on modern art. (When the surname stands alone, it becomes Van Gogh.)
