VINCENT VAN GOGH
WHO IS VINCENT VAN GOGH?
Vincent Willem van Gogh was a major
Post-Impressionist. A Dutch painter
whose work—notable for its rough
beauty, emotional honesty, and bold color
—had a far-reaching influence on 20th-
century art. After years of painful anxiety
and frequent bouts of mental illness, he
died aged 37 from a gunshot wound,
generally accepted to be self-inflicted
(although no gun was ever found).
WHAT VINCENT DID He began to draw as a child, and he continued
to draw throughout the years that led up to his
decision to become an artist. He did not begin
painting until his late twenties, completing
many of his best-known works during the last
two years of his life. In just over a decade, he
produced more than 2,100 artworks, consisting
of 860 oil paintings and more than 1,300
watercolors, drawings, sketches, and prints.
His work included self portraits, landscapes,
still lifes, portraits as well as paintings of
cypresses, wheat fields and sunflowers

WHERE WAS VINCENT BORN AT?
Vincent Willem van Gogh was born on 30 March
1853 in Groot-Zundert, a village close to Breda, in
the province of North Brabant in the southern
Netherlands, a predominantly Catholic area.
WHO WAS VINCENT’S FAMILY?
Grandfather Vincent had six sons, three of whom became art
dealers, including another Vincent who was referred to in Van
Gogh's letters as "Uncle Cent". Grandfather Vincent had perhaps
been named in turn after his own father's uncle, the successful
sculptor Vincent van Gogh (1729–1802).[15][16] Art and religion
were the two occupations to which the Van Gogh family
gravitated. His brother Theodorus "Theo" was born on 1 May
1857. He had another brother, Cor, and three sisters: Elisabeth,
Anna, and Willemina "Wil".
WHEN DID VINCENT DIE?
The death of Vincent van Gogh, the Dutch post-
Impressionist painter, occurred in the early morning
of 29 July 1890, in his room at the Auberge Ravoux
in the village of Auvers-sur-Oise in northern France.
He suffered a gunshot wound two days before the
date of his death, not far from the local inn. It has
always been assumed that he shot himself in the
chest, wishing to end his life.
MY REFLECTION
I think that Vincent Van Gogh’s arts were all great
they all had foreground, landscape, montage,
portrait, and tension. They were all amazingly
detailed whether it be a person or a scenery. I also
think that he was a great artist who captured
incredible details of the scenery or the people.
