Vincent van Gogh
Anyone who’s seen the painting “Starry Night” knows how brilliant Vincent van Gogh was. He was a painter from The Netherlands, and art critics rightfully regard him as an icon of the 19th century. He painted over 2,000 works in his lifetime, but sadly, he lived a life of poverty. During his life, Van Gogh mostly went unnoticed. He was a struggling artist who suffered greatly.
After he took his life in 1890, his paintings came to his brother, who displayed them, and from that point, Van Gogh’s work started getting noticed. Now, his creations are worth millions. There’s even a museum dedicated to his work in The Netherlands.
