Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh was born in Holland on
March 30, 1853. During his early life, Van Gogh tried
a lot of professions. He worked as an art dealer, a
teacher, a bookseller, a minister’s assistant, and a
missionary before he became an artist.
When Vincent was 27 years old, he taught
himself how to paint. He stayed in Holland until
1886 when he moved to Paris. His brother, Theo,
was an art dealer there. He recognized Vincent’s
talent, and tried to help him sell his paintings but
they were too much darker than the art that was
popular in Paris at the time.
Theo encouraged and supported Vincent financially. He also introduced him to famous impressionist painters like Paul
Van Gogh self-portrait.

Gauguin, Edgar Degas and Camille Pissarro, who influenced him. They used a lot of color in their work and preferred to
paint natural subjects outdoors.
In 1888, when Van Gogh was tired of living in the city, he left Paris and went to live in a small city called Arles in the
south of France.
In Arles, Van Gogh lived with Paul Gauguin. The two painted almost without break for some time, but Gauguin moved
out after a bad fight. Van Gogh was growing ill and beginning to see things that were not there. He also suffered from severe
depression and was admitted to an asylum in December 1888, after cutting off his own ear.
While he was in the asylum, Vincent painted one of his best-known paintings, The Starry Night. In mid-May 1890, he left
the asylum and spent the last few months of his life in Auvers, France.
On July 27, 1890, at the age of 37, Vincent van Gogh shot himself on the chest with a revolver. Two days later he died with
his younger brother, Theo, by his side.
Although Vincent van Gogh is a world-famous artist today, he did not get much recognition during his lifetime. Van
Gogh only sold one painting while he was alive. For most of his life he was very poor, often spending his money on art
supplies instead of food.
His mother threw away several of Vincent’s paintings during his life and even after his death. But she lived long enough
to see her son become a world-famous painter.
