Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist who produced over 2,100
artworks, including iconic pieces like The Starry Night. Despite his profound influence on
modern art, his personal life was fraught with extreme poverty and severe mental illness,
which tragically culminated in suicide at age 37. His expressive brushwork and bold colors
vividly translated his inner turmoil onto the canvas, leaving a lasting legacy of unrecognized
genius.
