“I put my heart and soul into my work, and I have lost my mind in the process.” - Vincent Van Gogh. A man who is known for his passion of painting but battled a fight of mental illness which ended up causing the end of his short artistic career. Van Gogh is considered one of the most fantastic painters of his time, though his work had not become popular until the 20th century. He has created over 1,000 watercolors, drawings, sketches and produced over 1,250 paintings in his last ten years of his life (Ebbscohost).

Vincent is also known for his deep and touching letters between him and his brother Theo throughout the last ten years of his life.
