Хто зустрічався з Sien Hoornik?

Vincent van Gogh drew and painted a series of works of his mistress Sien during their time together in the Netherlands. In particular, his drawing Sorrow is widely acknowledged as a masterwork of draftsmanship, the culmination of a long and sometimes uncertain apprenticeship in learning his craft.

Commonly called Sien Hoornik, Clasina Maria Hoornik (1850–1904) lived with van Gogh during much of his time in The Hague from 1881 to 1883. Van Gogh used Sien, a pregnant prostitute, as a model for his work and later took Sien and her daughter into his home. Van Gogh made drawings and paintings of Sien and her daughter, baby and mother over that period, which reflected the domestic life and hardships of the working poor. Their relationship was not accepted by his family or supporters, although his brother Theo did not withdraw his support over it. It did contribute however, to a split with Anton Mauve, a cousin-in-law and noted painter of the Hague School, who had introduced Van Gogh to painting as well as supporting him financially, and whom Van Gogh revered. At his brother Theo's urging, Van Gogh left Sien in 1883 to paint in Drenthe, ending the only domestic relationship he would ever have.

Sien resumed her life as a seamstress, cleaning woman and likely prostitute before marrying in 1901. On 22 November 1904, aged 54, she threw herself into the Schelde river and drowned, fulfilling a prediction she had made to Van Gogh in 1883: "what the bad moods are is still more desperate ... 'it's bound to end up with me jumping into the water.'"

Ві́нсент Ві́ллем ван Гог (нід. Vincent Willem van Gogh; [ˈvɪnsɛnt vaŋˈɣɔx]; 30 березня 1853(18530330) — 29 липня 1890) — нідерландський художник-постімпресіоніст, який є однією з найвідоміших і найвпливовіших постатей в історії західного мистецтва. За трохи більше як десятиліття створив близько 2100 художніх робіт, у тому числі близько 860 олійних картин, більшість з яких датовані останніми двома роками його життя. Роботи включають пейзажі, натюрморти, портрети та автопортрети, і характеризуються сміливими кольорами, а також драматичним, імпульсивним та виразним малярством. Його творчий спадок мав величезний вплив насамперед на французький живопис. За життя ван Гог не зумів здобути комерційного успіху, і у 37 років, після років психічної хвороби, депресії та бідності вчинив самогубство.
