His is such a sad story. He only sold one painting during his lifetime. He suffered a lot mentally.

While this is the popular theory of his death, there are researchers who believe that he was shot by someone else, possibly teens in town.

lynda, he suffered severe mental health problems. In his lifetime, he sold only one of the many paintings that he had done. He considered himself to be a failure. Perhaps the physical pain from actually shooting himself was more than he could bear. Weapons in those days did not easily reload, so he probably did not have more ammunition. Thus his decision to seek help.

If you want to hear a truly touching song about Vincent van Gogh, listen to Don McClain's "Vincent" (aka Starry Starry Night). If it doesn't touch you, then you have no heart at all.
