VAN GOGH

Art Exhibition

So who is Van Gogh?

Many people know of paintings such as the Mona Lisa and Starry Night, but when asked who was the genius behind them, more often than not you would be met with blank stares. The very person who had painted these works was Vincent Van Goh, an inspirational artist who created the above and many other famous paintings such as The Starry Night, Sunflowers and Irises.

He had also painted nearly 900 paintings within 10 years. Despite now being a very famous artist with paintings all around the world, throughout his entire life he had only sold one painting 4 months before his suicide, and that was The Red Vineyard that was bought by Anna Boch for 400 francs.

The man himself was actually colour-blind and had only started painting at the age of 27. He was born in 1853 and unfortunately suffered from anxiety, depression and eventually developed epilepsy.

These mental illnesses caused repeated seizures and attacks. Unfortunately, on 29 July 1890, he had shot himself in the chest and died with his brother, Theodorus Van Goh, at his bedside, who had always urged him to become an artist and had supported him emotionally and financially. Van Gogh was then buried at the Auvers-sur-Oise cemetery.
