"Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter whose short, turbulent life produced some of the most iconic and emotionally charged works in Western art. Born in the Netherlands, he struggled early with direction, working briefly as an art dealer, teacher, and preacher before committing himself fully to painting in his late twenties. His art evolved rapidly, moving from dark, earthy depictions of peasant life to luminous, vibrant canvases filled with bold color and expressive brushwork. Deeply influenced by his time in Paris, Arles, and Saint-Rémy, van Gogh created masterpieces such as The Starry Night, Sunflowers, and The Bedroom, works that reflected both his fascination with nature and his inner emotional struggles. Despite battling mental illness and financial hardship, he produced over 2,000 artworks in just a decade, leaving a legacy that profoundly shaped modern art."
