Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh was a Human born on Earth in 1853. He was a painter in the late 19th century. During the latter part of the century, he lived in Montmartre for a period of time. Van Gogh suffered from intense mental illness, including bipolar disorder and bouts of anxiety. He died at the age of thirty seven from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Although largely unknown at the time of his death, he has gone on to be regarded as one of the greatest painters of all time.
