Vincent van Gogh (born March 30, 1853, Zundert, Netherlands—died July 29, 1890, Auvers-sur-Oise, near Paris, France) was a Dutch post-impressionist painter who posthumously became one of the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art.

In a decade, he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of which date from the last two years of his life. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits, and are characterized by bold colors and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. He was not commercially successful, and his death at 37 came after years of mental illness, depression and poverty.

After retiring to spend more time with her children and grandchildren, Jan saw a need in the marketplace for something more versatile than a rain poncho and stylish enough to wear both every day as well as for travel and special occasions. She wanted to create a better solution that offered more than a woman's rain coat; the result is a lightweight hooded and breathable.
