Christ of the coal mines

Hey guys (and gals), today i'll tell you a little about personally my favorite (well, we know who's american) artist. his name is none other than.................................................................. Vincent Van Gogh. Before you start saying stuff like, but he went crazy and cut his ear off, don't care (the haters can hate all they want) just read.

  • Vincent had a brother who died at birth whose name was also Vincent van gogh
  • He suffered from quite a few mental illnesses
  • He shot himself but did not die until a couple days later
  • In the 10 years that he made paintings, he made over 900
