Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter known for his expressive brushwork, bold colors, and emotional intensity. Despite struggling with mental health and financial hardship, he created over 2,000 artworks, including iconic paintings like *Starry Night*, *Sunflowers*, and *The Bedroom*. His use of thick, swirling brushstrokes and vibrant contrasts brought movement and depth to his work. Though largely unrecognized during his lifetime, van Gogh's art became highly influential, shaping modern Expressionism and inspiring generations of artists.
