How would it feel to live your life as a failure, but after your death be praised by all? The real Vincent Van Gogh was an artist who had nothing and gave up on life. Many people viewed him as a tenacious and mysterious artist. He died a tragic death feeling like an artistic failure due to a couple of reasons. The first reason was because there were no cures for the mental problems, such as depression, insanity, and epilepsy, that ran in the family. Because of his depression, he felt like an artistic failure, not knowing the fame he would later gain. Van Gogh died as an unknown artist with little money and no cure for an issue that was common throughout his family.

Vincent Van Gogh is a famous and highly skilled artist. Vincent Van Gogh’s life and paintings show his incredible ability. To begin, Vincent van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853 in Groot Zundert, Holland. A year before his mother had Vincent she had a stillborn boy that she named Vincent as well. His father was a minister and so he grew up being pretty religious. Vincent Van Gogh had no drive to spend time on art or artistic qualities while he was growing up. Van Gogh attended a boarding school in Zevenbergen and King Willem II secondary school in Tilburg when he was young. At the age of fifteen Vincent dropped out of school and never returned.

Brabant is a region of the Netherlands that is close to the Belgian border. His parents are Theodorus van Gogh Sr. and Anna Cornelia Carbentus. His father was a pastor in the Dutch Reformed Community. One year prior to Vincent van Gogh’s birth his mother had delivered a still born, who was the first Vincent Willem van Gogh. It is hinted at by a lot of psychologist that Vincent might have felt like a “replacement child”. Vincent had five siblings: two brothers, Theodorus and Cornelius Vincent; and three sisters, Anna Cornelia, Elisabeth Huberta, and Willemina Jacoba. The youngest sister would suffer from the same mental illnesses that Vincent did later in her life. Most of the recorded history that we have of Vincent is from the letters sent between him and Theo, so there is not much information readily available on his early childhood. We do have a memoir from his sister Elizabeth that said that “Vincent was a serious, sensitive boy who preferred solitude to the companionship of family and friends and loved flowers, birds, and insects. He was a good student, but his choice of clothing and his eating habits and solitary nature made him appear slightly strange to others from a young

By the time he was 15, van Gogh’s parents were struggling to provide for their six kids. He was forced to dropout of high school and join the workforce. He quickly picked up work at his “Uncle Cornelis' art dealership, Goupil & Cie., a firm of art dealers in The Hague.” (biography.com) Vincent spoke his local language, Dutch, but he also was fluent in three foreign languages, English, German, and French. In the June of 1873, he was moved over to the Groupil Art Gallery in London.

Vincent Willem Van Gogh was born to Anna Cornelia Carbentus and Reverend Theodorus van Gogh of the protestant church on March 30th, 1853. Exactly a year to the date after their first child was stillborn. Biographers speculate that being the replacement child of his brother, who Vincent was the namesake of, could have added to his psychological trauma. There however is no historical evidence of this being factual. While not is known much about Vincent, we do know that he was a quiet child and spent little to no time in the arts that would one day make him famous. In his adolescence Vincent had attended multiple schools, including a boarding school in Zevenbergen for two years and then went on to attend the King Willem II secondary school in Tilburg for two more years. By the time Vincent was 15 he had left his studies for good.

Vincent Van Gogh was born on March, 30 1853 in the town of Zundert in the Netherlands. He died at the age of thirty-seven on July 20, 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise, France. Van Gogh primarily worked in oil paints on canvas or board. Some of his works include, The Starry Night, Irises, and the Night Cafe. He used oil paints as his main media. The art he created was primarily expressionistic and impressionistic. Expressionism is a unique type of painting, music, or theatrics in which the artist tries to express emotional experience rather than impressions of the external world. Impressionism is a style in painting starting in France in the 1860s, distinguished by a concern with depicting the visual impression of the moment, most likely in terms

Vincent then attended preparatory classes with intense lessons of Dutch, German, French, and English along with the traditional array of math and science courses. Yet for reasons unknown, in March of 1868, Vincent returned to his home in Zundert. His boyhood came to a close in July of 1869 when he joined the art business as a dealer for Goupil & Co. This was a family tradition, as three of his uncles, including one also by the name of Vincent, were also art dealers. Vincent’s brother Theo would also become an art dealer four years after him. As a young child, Vincent was not known for his own creation of art. Though his family made a great impact on his view of dealing art, he was not an art prodigy like other famous arts such as Henri de Toulous-Lautrec and Pablo Picasso were. While a handful of his drawings between the ages of eight and ten have survived, he did not truly take a serious interest in creating art until he was twenty-seven. (Hulsker & Miller, 5-14)
