Vincent Van Gogh was a famous Dutch post-impressionist painter born in 1853 who taught himself to paint as a child. He had a difficult life and career, producing over 2,100 artworks but only selling one painting during his lifetime. He struggled with mental illness and cut off his own ear during a fight with fellow artist Paul Gauguin. Van Gogh is now considered one of the most influential artists in history and some of his paintings, like The Starry Night, are among the most expensive in the world.
