Biography: Dutch artist, Vincent Van Gogh was born the son of Protestant minister. He adopted many different careers before finally devoting himself to painting. He was an employee of art dealers, a language teacher, student of practical evangelism, and a missionary. In 1881, he first developed his work in the traditional Dutch style. In 1886, he moved to Paris where he encountered Impressionism. Van Gogh’s life was plagued by series of unrequited love stories and rocky friendships. The most notable of these were his obsession with a French prostitute, to whom he sent his dismembered ear, and also his tumultuous relationship with fellow artist, Paul Gauguin. Mental illness, primarily schizophrenia and manic depression afflicted Van Gogh his entire adult life, resulting in frequent hospitalization and an early death. He produced some of his most famous pieces, including his Self-Portrait, in mental institutions in hospitals in Arles and Saint-Remy. After his release, he went to Auvers where he eventually shot himself and died two days later.
