Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) was a Dutch post-Impressionist painter whose works had a profound influence on 20th-century art, despite the fact that he only gained widespread recognition after his death. Known for his vivid color palette, emotional depth, and expressive brushwork, Van Gogh created more than 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, many of which are now considered masterpieces. His life was marked by personal struggles, poverty, and mental illness, but his contributions to art remain monumental.
