Its very sad that he had a sad and awful life. Didn't get recognition til after his death, so he died insane and depressed.

He didn't cut his whole ear off, only a piece of it.

If he was born in the era of mental health understanding, Van Gogh could have maybe actually enjoyed the success from his genius artwork. Instead he suffers, makes the world of Art a better place, and someone else gains from his hard work?? Plus also the life story just jacks up the price after death. The human race can be very heartless sometimes. He probably cut his ear off because the poor man would have been hearing voices.

Proofreaders, again! "Temperatures flared" w Gaughin, or tempers. Poorly written

Tanehowl, I agree. I can't imagine how horrible it would be to only get recognition for your amazing art --- after your death. He lived such a depressing life and was full of misery. I wish he could have gotten the fame he deserved while alive.

in an episode of doctor who, the doctor takes him forward in time to the Louvre,where Vincent is amazed to see his paintings adorn the walls and he can see he was loved eventually, one of the best episodes,quite touching.

If he had been born into a time when mental illnesses were both understood and treated, he likely wouldn’t have made the beautiful art that he did. Much of it was influenced by what he “saw” in his turbid mind. Starry Night is a prime example.

Reminds me of Peter from the Bible because Peter cut off someone's ear when he was taking Jesus with him to the temple. Jesus healed him and he was fine.

I absolutely love Van Gogh!! and the fact that you cannot separate mental illness from his work is so foundational. I did a whole project on him & mental illness.

AppleA815, poorly written because the game was created by non English speaking people. English is not their native language.
