Van Gogh depicted a lot of darkness in this oil painting, but made it seem…

Vincent van Gogh was an amazing post-impressionist painter who was poor and went practically unrecognized his whole life.

Vincent Van Gogh’s older brother was also named Vincent Van Gogh but passed away at birth”. Vincent Van…
