Van Gogh was the son of Jeanette Louise Vos (1854–1906) and Johannes van Gogh (1854–1913), a coffee grower on Java who was a full cousin of Vincent van Gogh.

A civilian colonial administrator in the Dutch East Indies before capture by the occupying Japanese in World War II, Van Gogh died in one of the Japanese internment camps in Cimahi on Java. He was buried in the Dutch War Cemetery at Leuwigajah at Cimahi.[2]
