VINCENT VAN GOGH
2
WHO IS VINCENT VAN GOGH? Vincent Willem van Gogh was a major Post- Impressionist. A Dutch painter whose work— notable for its rough beauty, emotional honesty, and bold color—had a far-reaching influence on 20th-century art. After years of painful anxiety and frequent bouts of mental illness, he died aged 37 from a gunshot wound, generally accepted to be self-inflicted (although no gun was ever found).

WHAT VINCENT DID He began to draw as a child, and he continued to draw throughout the years that led up to his decision to become an artist. He did not begin painting until his late twenties, completing many of his best-known works during the last two years of his life. In just over a decade, he produced more than 2,100 artworks, consisting of 860 oil paintings and more than 1,300 watercolors, drawings, sketches, and prints. His work included self portraits, landscapes, still lifes, portraits as well as paintings of cypresses, wheat fields and sunflowers

WHERE WAS VINCENT BORN AT? VVincent Willem van Gogh was born on 30 March 1853 in Groot- Zundert, a village close to Breda, in the province of North Brabant in the southern Netherlands, a predominantly Catholic area.
10
WHO WAS VINCENT’S FAMILY? Grandfather Vincent had six sons, three of whom became art dealers, including another Vincent who was referred to in Van Gogh's letters as "Uncle Cent". Grandfather Vincent had perhaps been named in turn after his own father's uncle, the successful sculptor Vincent van Gogh (1729– 1802).[15][16] Art and religion were the two occupations to which the Van Gogh family gravitated. His brother Theodorus "Theo" was born on 1 May 1857. He had another brother, Cor, and three sisters: Elisabeth, Anna, and Willemina "Wil".
11
WHEN DID VINCENT DIE? TThe death of Vincent van Gogh, the Dutch post-Impressionist painter, occurred in the early morning of 29 July 1890, in his room at the Auberge Ravoux in the village of Auvers-sur-Oise in northern France. He suffered a gunshot wound two days before the date of his death, not far from the local inn. It has always been assumed that he shot himself in the chest, wishing to end his life.

MY REFLECTION I think that Vincent Van Gogh’s arts were all great they all had foreground, landscape, montage, portrait, and tension. They were all amazingly detailed whether it be a person or a scenery. I also think that he was a great artist who captured incredible details of the scenery or the people.
