Remembering the Life of Vincent van Gogh

There are many painters who over the last two hundred years who have influenced the art world with their work, but many arguments could be made that none within that period have been as important or as influential as van Gogh. Many art experts are familiar with Vincent van Gogh trivia, but those without a working knowledge of art history might only be familiar with a few of his most famous paintings without really knowing more of the detailed facts of his life that might show up on a Vincent van Gogh quiz. Here are some things about the famous painter which you may not have known previously.

 

Van Gogh was born in 1953 in the Netherlands. During his early years he worked as an art dealer but at one point in time tried to turn his back on the art community to follow what he believed was a calling to the ministry. However, he would not succeed in the studies necessary to pursue theology, and instead began working as a missionary. This was in 1879 in Belgium, and it was during his time there that he began to experience a true passion for art. His brother was the one responsible for pushing him to pursue art as a vocation. It is one of the most interesting pieces of Vincent van Gogh trivia to know that without his brother Theo, this great artist whose works are some of the most valuable in existence may never have begun painting.

           

A Vincent van Gogh quiz might want a person to realize that his life and work are largely described by the people who study him based on the areas where he lived and worked during his short life. Once he began painting his life could be divided into phases like Etten (1881), Drenthe and The Hague (81-1883), Nuenen, ('83-1885), Antwerp ('85-1886) Paris ('86-1888), Arles ('88-1889), Saint-Remy ('89-1890), and Auvers-sur-Oise. 1890 would be the last year of Van Gogh's life.

 

Van Gogh has many famous paintings which are considered among the most important masterpieces of the art world, but of all these, the most well known is possibly “Starry Night”, which was painted in 1889.  The artist is also well known for an episode in which he cut off his own ear, an incident judged by many to be a product of mental illness. Although the suggested diagnoses differ, whatever his illness, it caused a depression which eventually led to his suicide in 1890.
