(Vincent van Gogh was a brilliant Dutch painter. He was born in 1853 in the
Netherlands. Van Gogh had many different jobs when he was young. He worked in
a bookshop, sold works of art and was a teacher. But in the end he decided to study
painting. In 1886, he went to Paris to live with his brother Theo. Theo was Van
Gogh's best friend and always gave his brother money for food. In Paris, Van Gogh
met many famous painters like Monet and Gauguin, and learnt about painting from
them. Van Gogh painted day and night for many hours; he did not eat or sleep well
enough. Because of this, he soon became sick. In 1889, he moved to the countryside
in Arles, in the south of France. In 1890, he died at age of 37. During his life, Van
Gogh sold only one painting. But today, his paintings are some of the most popular
and expensive works of art in the world. In his short life, Van Gogh achieved his
great things and people continue to admire his paintings today. His most famous
work is The Starry Night (1889).
