Vincent Van Gogh was a post-impressionist painter born in Holland in 1853 who suffered from mental illness throughout his life. His most important relationship was with his brother Theo, who supported him financially. Though not a good student, Van Gogh was self-taught and held various jobs when young. His early work was dark but he began incorporating bright colors after learning about impressionism. His most famous paintings were done in the post-impressionist style using vivid colors and thick brushstrokes, including many paintings of sunflowers. Van Gogh struggled with mental illness and cut off his own ear in 1888 before taking his own life in 1890. He is buried next to his brother in Auvers.
