Esercizio 3

Today, Vincent van Gogh is a world renowned artist, who painted some of the most famous paintings of all time. But during his lifetime he sold only one painting, and for most of his life he was unknown and very poor.

Vincent van Gogh was born in the Netherlands on March 30^th, 1853. His father was a priest and Vincent grew up in a religious environment. In – 1869, aged 16, van Gogh left England, where he worked first in a bookshop and then as an art dealer for seven years. He then spent four years living in various European countries. Finally, in 1880, van Gogh moved to – Brussels to study – art.

In 1886, Vincent decided to move to – France, where he met some of the greatest artists of the time, such as Monet, Pissarro and Gauguin. Vincent became an obsessive painter and he often spent his money on – art supplies instead of food. He soon started to suffer from the depression, and he was admitted to a mental hospital in – December 1888 after cutting off his own ear. While in a mental hospital, Vincent painted some of his best-known paintings.

In May 1890, Vincent left the mental hospital and spent the last few months of his life in Auvers, France. On July 27, 1890 Vincent van Gogh shot himself in the chest with a hand gun. He died two days later.
