Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh, a Dutch post-impressionist painter, is one of the most influential figures in the history of Western art. Born in 1853, he began painting in his late twenties, producing over 2,100 artworks, including... around 860 oil paintings. His work is noted for its bold colors and emotive intensity, with famous pieces like “Starry Night” and “Sunflowers”. Van Gogh struggled with mental illness throughout his life and remained largely unappreciated until after his death in 1890. Today, his works are celebrated for their beauty, passion, and innovation, profoundly impacting art and culture.
