“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together” was once said by a great man named Vincent Van Gogh. Van Gogh’s personal information, his mental illness, his art style, and my personal thought on one of his magnificent paintings is just a small part of this bright eyed person.

“This great man was born on March 30, 1853, in Groot-Zundert, Netherlands. Vincent Van Gogh’s older brother was also named Vincent Van Gogh but passed away at birth”. Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘nickname’ was Van Gogh. VIncent Van Gogh had so many siblings it is unbelievable. “His siblings were: Theo van Gogh, Wil van Gogh, Elisabeth van Gogh, Cor van Gogh, Anna Cornelia van Gogh, Vincent Van Gogh (older brother).

He became so confused that he cut off his left ear. “The next morning, Gauguin sent a telegram to Theo, who took the night train to Arles to visit his brother. In 1888 December Van Gogh commits himself to a mental asylum in Saint Rémy. Vincent Van Gogh was discharged from the hospital in Arles in January 1889”. His wounded ear healed, but his mental health remained unstable, resulting in his rehospitalization. “Fearing a fresh breakdown, he had himself admitted to Saint-Paul-de-Mausole psychiatric hospital in Saint-Rémy in …show more content…
This painting was painted in Arles, France. The style of this art piece is a seascape. When Van Gogh was painting the water of this intriguing painting he used thick brush strokes with many different shades of blue, white, yellow and even a little bit of green to get the color of the ocean. I think Van Gogh used these colors because these colors look like the color of the sea. The colors made nice contrast but if you look close at the picture it doesn’t seem like the colors will work together, when you look at the whole picture the colors match. Also, he painted the brush strokes in opposite directions so it can get the texture and look of the ocean. I saw that on some of the brush strokes curved it to get the wavy look of the ocean. Behind the first boat instead of doing many strokes of paint he did a few long strokes to show that the water was fading away in the distance. On the first boat he added an astonishing amount of detail to make it look realistic, from the strokes on the brush to the less than a millimeter wide dots. I personally think Vincent Van Gogh is one of the best artists that have ever lived. This particular artwork made me feel calm because it was a painting of water with a couple of sail boats and not any big
