his career, while he was in his late 20s, are referred to as the \u201cEarly works of Vincent van Gogh\u201d.\u00a0 These early works include at least two paintings of churches, <em>Cluster of Old Houses with the New Church in The Hague<\/em> painted in August of 1882 and <em>Landscape with a Church at Twilight<\/em> painted in October of 1883.<\/p>\n<p>It was during these early years that Van Gogh seriously explored artistic styles.\u00a0 He moved around quite a bit in the first couple of years and spent time in The Hague studying with his cousin-in-law Anton Mauve.\u00a0 Previously Van Gogh had primarily painted with watercolors, but with instruction from Mauve, Van Gogh began experimenting with oils in 1882.<\/p>\n<p><em>Cluster of Old Houses with the New Church in The Hague<\/em> and <em>Landscape with a Church at Twilight<\/em> are both done in oil and are among the early oil paintings of his career.\u00a0 Compared to his later paintings, some of his early works may seem a bit bland and flat, however, they offer insight into the budding genius\u2019 development.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a title=\"Cluster of Old Houses with the New Church in The Hague\"
