Vincent van Gogh

Little Vincent was a quiet child. He loved spending time in nature and playing with his brother Theo.

After leaving school, he began working as an art dealer. Vincent showed promise, but he found it more and more difficult to control his emotions and eventually had to leave. He had a go at many different jobs, including a teacher and a bookseller, but nothing felt right.

When he wasn't working, he wrote Theo long letters that included beautiful drawings. Theo loved his work and suggested that he try being an artist.

Vincent dedicated himself to painting and never looked back! He developed his own style and expressed his emotions through his art: from sorrow to joy, and everything in between.

During his life, Vincent had little success, but today, his paintings are admired and celebrated in galleries across the world.
