From Humble Beginnings to Artistic Greatness

Born in the Netherlands in 1853, Vincent van Gogh's early life was marked by poverty, loneliness, and a deep-seated desire to connect with the world. After working as an art dealer, missionary, and teacher, he finally discovered his true calling in painting at the age of 27.

His works often reflected his inner turmoil, as well as his deep love for nature and humanity.
