Johanna Gezina van Gogh-Bonger (4 October 1862 – 2 September 1925) was a multilingual Dutch editor who translated the hundreds of letters of her first husband, art dealer Theo van Gogh, and Vincent van Gogh.
Van Gogh-Bonger played a key role in the growth of Vincent van Gogh's posthumous fame.[1][2][3][4]
Johanna and Theo van Gogh's son Vincent (1890-1978), who was named after his uncle, founded the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.[5]
