Vincent van Gogh was a post-Impressionist painter born in 1853 who suffered from depression. He only sold one painting during his lifetime but is now considered one of the most famous and influential artists of all time. Some of his most famous works include The Starry Night and Sunflowers. He committed suicide in 1890 at the age of 37 by shooting himself, though it is believed this may have been a cry for help rather than a genuine suicide attempt. Throughout his life, van Gogh was supported by his brother Theo, an art dealer, who sold some of van Gogh's paintings after his death to provide for his sisters.
