The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam has put together an incredible on-line resource for reviewing the letters of Vincent Van Gogh. The data base is searchable and includes images of the of original letters. As you may know, aside from producing an enormous volume of paintings and drawings in just ten years time, Van Gogh was also a talented writer. Having his writings available at the touch of a finger is, well, just dang cool.
Plus, if you haven't checked out the Google Art Project yet you are missing out. Here is a link to a very high res image of Van Gogh's The Bedroom . It's not the same as seeing it in person, true, but pretty sweet all the same.
