Vincent van Gogh's career and how his end was painful

Vincent van Gogh was born in Zundert, Netherlands, on March 30, 1853. Van Gogh's birth came one year to the day after his mother gave birth to a stillborn child, also named Vincent.

Some have speculated that Vincent van Gogh suffered a subsequent psychological trauma as a result of being a "surrogate child" of a dead brother with the same name and date of birth. This theory remains unconfirmed, and there is no actual historical evidence to support it.

Vincent was the eldest of his siblings. He had two younger brothers, Theo and Cor, and three sisters, Elisabeth, Anna, and Willemine. Vincent loved his mother and father so much that when his mother broke her leg in 1884, he drew the church in their village for her because she was unable to visit it. He painted it to cheer her up and let her see her favorite church from her home.

The relationship between Vincent and Goubel became increasingly strained over the years, and in May 1875, he was transferred to the firm's Paris branch. Vincent left Goubel in late March 1876, deciding to return to England, where he had spent two happy years. In April, Vincent van Gogh began teaching at the Reverend William B. Stokes's school in Ramsgate. He was responsible for 24 children ranging in age from 10 to 14. In his spare time, Van Gogh continued to visit galleries and pay homage to the many great works of art there.

He also devoted himself to the study of the Bible, spending many hours reading and rereading it. The summer of 1876 was a religious time for Vincent van Gogh. Although he was raised in a religious family, it was not until this age that he began to dedicate his life to the church in earnest. Vincent van Gogh chose to remain in the Netherlands after visiting his family at Christmas. After working briefly in a bookstore in Dordrecht in early 1877, Vincent left for Amsterdam on May 9 to prepare for his university entrance examination to study theology.

Vincent received lessons in Greek, Latin, and mathematics, but due to his lack of proficiency, he was eventually forced to leave school after fifteen months. Vincent later described this period as the darkest of his life. In November, Vincent failed to qualify for the missionary school in Laeken, but the church eventually recommended that he go to the coal mining region of Borinage in Belgium.

In the fall of 1880, after more than a year of living in poverty in the Borinage, Vincent traveled to Brussels to begin his art studies. He was encouraged to begin these studies by financial support from his brother Theo. Vincent and Theo were always close throughout their childhood and for much of their later life, maintaining a constant correspondence. These letters number over 700 and constitute most of our knowledge of van Gogh's perceptions of his own life and his work.

Despite emotional setbacks with Kee and personal tensions with his father, Vincent found some encouragement from Anton Mauve (1838–1888), his cousin by marriage. Mauve had established himself as a successful artist, and from his home in The Hague, he supplied Vincent with his first set of watercolors, and Vincent thus began to work with colors. Vincent greatly admired Mauve's work and was grateful to him. Their relationship was good, but it became strained when Vincent began living with a courtesan.

Vincent van Gogh met Clasina Maria Hoornik (1850–1904) in late February 1882 in The Hague. This woman (nicknamed "Sinn") was pregnant with her second child when van Gogh met her, but moved in with him shortly after for a year and a half. With the help of Sinn and her children, the artist's talents developed considerably during this period.

His early drawings of coal miners in the Borinage paved the way for his better works, laden with emotion. In "Siène Sitting on the Basket with a Girl," Vincent skillfully depicts a quiet family life, with a certain sense of despair, a sentiment he became familiar with during the nineteen months he lived with Siène.

In the early months of 1885, Van Gogh continued to produce his series of peasant paintings. Vincent viewed these paintings as a continuing development of his craft, preparing for his most successful works to date. Vincent worked on these studies throughout March and April, briefly distracted by the death of his father on March 26. Vincent's relationship with his father had been very strained in the last few years, and while he was certainly not happy about his death, he was emotionally detached from him, which allowed him to continue working normally.

The first weeks of 1889 were not easy for Vincent van Gogh. After recovering, Vincent returned to his yellow house, but continued to visit Dr. Ray for examinations and to have his head bandages changed. Vincent was excited after the break, but his financial problems continued, and he was partially depressed when his close friend Joseph Rollin (1841-1903) decided to accept a better living location and moved with his family to Marseille. Rollin was a dear and loyal friend of Vincent's during most of his time in Arles. Vincent became very productive throughout January and the beginning of the following month, painting some of his best-known works, such as "La Perseuse" and "Sunflowers." On February 7, Vincent suffered another episode in which he imagined himself to be poisoned. He was again taken to the Hôtel-Dieu Hospital for treatment, where he remained for 10 days, but later returned to the Yellow House.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Van Gogh was placed under the care of Dr. Théophile Zécherie-Auguste Peyron (1827–1895). After examining Vincent and reviewing his condition, Dr. Peyron was convinced that his patient was suffering from epilepsy. After weeks, Vincent's mental state remained stable and he was allowed to continue painting. In mid-June, Van Gogh produced his finest work, "The Starry Night."

Although he recovered quickly from the accident, Van Gogh was frustrated at being deprived of the one thing he loved most: his art. The following week, Dr. Peyron allowed Van Gogh to resume painting. This resumption coincided with a better mental state. Vincent sent letters to Theo detailing his precarious state of health.

Death of Vincent van Gogh On the evening of Sunday, July 27, 1890, Vincent van Gogh took a pistol and shot himself in the chest. Vincent managed to stagger back to Ravaud, where he collapsed on the bed and was discovered by Ravaud.

Vincent van Gogh died at 1:30 a.m. on July 29, 1890, at the age of 37. The Catholic Church in Auvers refused to allow Vincent to be buried in its cemetery because he had committed suicide, but the nearby town of Méry agreed to the burial and funeral, which took place on July 30.

Theo van Gogh died in Auvers-sur-Oise, France, six months after Vincent's death. He was buried in Utrecht, but in 1914, his wife Johanna requested that his body be reburied in the Auvers cemetery alongside Vincent. Johanna also requested that a vine sprig from Dr. Gachet's garden be planted between the gravestones. Those same plants remain at the site of Vincent and Theo's graves to this day.
