On March 30, 1853 Vincent was born to minister Theodorus Van Gogh and Anna Cornelia Carbentus. He was born in Zundert, Netherlands. Vincent was named after his stillborn brother that had been born exactly a year before Vincent. The name Vincent was actually very common in the Van Gogh family.

Besides his mother Anna he had several siblings and a father named Theodorus. He used pastels and mainly did portraits in his art. Van Gogh made his best art when he was in an asylum.

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.
