Vincent van Gogh

Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch post-Impressionist 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 frequent bouts of mental illness, he died at the age of 37 from a gunshot wound (generally accepted to be self-inflicted).
