About Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who posthumously became one of the most famous and influential figures in Western art history. In a decade, he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of which date from the last two years of his life. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and self-portraits, and are characterised by bold colours and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. Not commercially successful, he struggled with severe depression and poverty, eventually leading to his suicide at age thirty-seven.

Additional quotes by Vincent van Gogh
Both she and I have grief enough and trouble enough, but as for regrets – neither of us have any.
You can feel the stars and the infinity of the sky. Since life, in spite of everything, is like a fairytale.
For me, life may well continue in solitude. I have never perceived those to whom I have been most attached other than as through a glass, darkly.
