Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter whose work had a far-reaching influence on 20th century art for its vivid colors and emotional impact. He suffered from anxiety and increasingly frequent bouts of mental illness throughout his life, and died largely unknown, at the age of 37, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was unappreciated during his lifetime. However, his fame grew in the years after his death. Today, he is widely regarded as one of historys greatest painters and an important contributor to the foundations of modern art.
