Vincent van Gogh's story is one of art history's greatest ironies. Today, he is revered globally as one of the most significant painters in history, his works commanding astronomical prices at auctions, featured in packed museums, and celebrated in sold-out exhibitions. However, while he painted the very canvases that now fetch millions, van Gogh faced indifference from his contemporaries and endured agonizing battles with mental illness, including depression and paralyzing anxiety. Tragically, in 1890, shortly after his 37th birthday, he succumbed to his mental struggles and took his own life. This comprehensive study delves into van Gogh's life and art, along with a complete catalog of his 871 paintings.
