Vincent van Gogh's tumultuous journey from a struggling artist to an iconic figure in art history is a testament to his enduring legacy.

His tragic life, characterized by a self-inflicted ear injury, enigmatic seizures, and his dramatic and untimely death, has captivated art enthusiasts and historians alike. Research suggests that these poignant elements of his biography have solidified Vincent van Gogh as perhaps the most renowned painter to have ever lived. Moreover, the Dutchman's archetype as a 'mad genius' adds to the mystique surrounding his persona. However, it prompts us to question: Was Vincent van Gogh truly plagued by insanity?

Despite being a late bloomer in the arts, there was a time when Vincent van Gogh's prospects as a painter seemed bleak. Remarkably, it was only in the last four years of his life that he transformed from a passionate yet unpolished amateur to a masterful genius. Vincent van Gogh‘s legacy now towers in the art world; he is celebrated for revolutionizing the craft with his rhythmic brushstrokes and a vibrant color palette that defy the conventions of his era.
