- Vincent van Gogh, Dutch post‑impressionist born in 1853, known for bold colors, emotional brushwork and paintings that shaped modern art even though he sold almost nothing in his lifetime.
- His style mixes strong color, swirling strokes and raw feeling, painting landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self‑portraits that look alive with movement and mood.
- He drifted through early jobs as an art dealer and a missionary before turning fully to painting in 1881, helped and supported by his brother Theo through years of struggle.
- His art changed fast after moving to Paris and later to Arles, where he painted sunflowers, olive trees, wheat fields and bright southern landscapes that became his most loved works.
- Van Gogh battled mental illness, loneliness and poverty, suffering breakdowns and hospital stays, and died in 1890 at age 37 after a self‑inflicted gunshot wound.
- More about his life and paintings is on Wikipedia, the official Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, and Britannica.
