Vincent Van Gogh

My artists name is Vincent Van Gogh he was born March 30th, 1853 in the town Groot-Zundert,Holland. His father’s name is Theodorus Van Gogh and he was a pastor. His mother’s name is Anna Carbentus Van Gogh. Vincent was the second amongst six children. Vincent had two terrible romances in his life time. Van Gogh went to an asylum because he was starting to go mad. He cut the bottom portion of his earlobe off. Van Gogh lived in poverty even though he was a skilled artist. One thing most people don’t know about Van Gogh is that he shot himself. Van Gogh used oil based painting. I think Van Gogh used Impressionism in his paintings because it looks like he tried to capture the image of what he was painting. The most famous painting Van Gogh painted was A Starry Night. Two pieces by Van Gogh is A Starry Night Over The Rhone and A Starry Night.
