<P> Marguerite Gachet at the Piano 1890 Kunstmuseum Basel, Basel, Switzerland (F772) </P> <P> For a time, Van Gogh seemed to improve . He began to paint at such a steady pace, there was barely space in his room for all the finished paintings . From May until his death on July 29, Van Gogh made about 70 paintings, more than one a day, and many drawings . Van Gogh painted buildings around the town of Auvers, such as The Church at Auvers, portraits, and the nearby fields . </P> <P> From Wallace, "But for all his appearance of a renewed well - being his life was very near its end ." Illness struck Theo's baby, Vincent . Theo had both health and employment issues; he considered leaving his employer and starting his own business . Gachet, said to have his own eccentricities and neurosis, caused Van Gogh concern to which he questioned: "Now when one blind man leads another blind man, don't they both end up in the ditch?" </P> <P> After visiting Paris for a family conference, Van Gogh returned to Auvers more bleak . In a letter he wrote, "And the prospect grows darker, I see no future at all ." </P>
