Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter renowned for his emotional and expressive use of color. Despite struggling with mental health issues throughout his life, van Gogh created a vast body of work in a relatively short period. His most famous works include "Starry Night," "Sunflowers," and "The Starry Night." Van Gogh's art is characterized by bold brushstrokes, vivid colors, and a deep connection to nature and human emotion. Tragically, he only gained widespread recognition after his death, but today he is considered one of the most influential figures in Western art.
