Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) was a Dutch post-impressionist painter whose expressive use of color and bold brushwork revolutionized the art world. Although he struggled with mental health and spent much of his life in poverty, van Gogh’s works, such as Starry Night and Sunflowers, became some of the most iconic and influential pieces in Western art. His emotional intensity and innovative approach to painting laid the foundation for modern art movements like Expressionism. Van Gogh's impact on art history is profound, and his legacy continues to inspire artists, collectors, and art lovers around the world.
