About this ebook
Vincent Van Gogh was a painter who created hundreds of paintings and thousands of sketches throughout his life. Best known for his sunflower paintings, and for having cut off his ear, Van Gogh suffered from depression most of his life. This was probably made worse by his poor eating habits and his addiction to alcohol. Added to this was his addiction to overworking himself and bouts of insomnia.
Van Gogh had a hard time keeping a job, and his family considered him a failure, having lost most of the jobs which they had helped him to get during his lifetime.
Do you know:
What job did Van Gogh first want to do?
How many paintings did Van Gogh sell during his lifetime?
How long was Van Gogh an artist?
How many paintings did he paint during his artistic career?
And more.
Find out the answers to these questions and more and amaze your family and friends with these fun facts.
