Van Gogh

Van Gogh

Although wildly popular today and considered one of the greatest Dutch painters of his time, Van Gogh was unknown and very poor during his life. He lived and painted in the late 1850's in the Netherlands. He was a post-impressionist painter who greatly influenced 20th century art. He struggled with mental illness, but some say that made his art even better. Van Gogh killed himself in 1890 at age 37.
