Vincent Van Gogh

This term we have been studying different artist and Vincent Van Gogh is one of the famous artists I have been learning about.

Vincent Van Gogh was a son of a pastor who was brought up in a religious country.Before Van Gogh became a painter he was working unsuccessfully as a clerk in a book store, an art salesman, and a preacher in the Borinage. It was about 1860 and 1880 when Van Gogh then decided to become an artist. Van Gogh's life was very sad, He suffered from Mental illness and did lots of bad things to him self, He even cut off his own ear and sended it to some random girl .Van Gogh did lots of self portrates of himself

. He only sold one painting when he was alive, worth only around about 500 dollars.
Van Gogh was only famous after he died by shooting himself with a shotgun.
