Vincent van Gogh was born in the Netherlands in 1853. He began to paint in 1880 when he was 27 years old.
Van Gogh's paintings are now among the world's best known, most popular and expensive works of art. His most famous paintings are his collection called Sunflowers. These were painted during the last four years of his life.
Van Gogh's style of painting was inspired by the colorful paintings of the French artists, which he first saw in Paris in 1886. Between 1880 and 1890, when he shot himself in a field near Paris, van Gogh painted an astonishing 900 paintings. He also drew more than a thousand sketches and drawings.
Van Gogh had a very unusual personality. He suffered badly from depression and the long chain of events led to the incident of him cutting off part of his left ear. Many people think that van Gogh's depression was also the inspiration for his art. In a letter to his brother he wrote 'I am not mad, because my mind is absolutely normal most of the time. During attacks of depression my mind is terrible but that helps me to paint well.'
