Vincent Van Gogh


Do you know this famous artist?  
well have you heard of  this artist who’s name is Vincent Van Gogh, he was born in 1885 and he was raised in groot zundert holland. His mother’s name was Anna Cornelia Carbentus. He had two sisters and two brothers, their names were Elisabeth, Anna, Cor and Theo. and died  in 1880

In his early life they had no interest in art or even artists, In 1870, after completing a sketchy array of education, Van Gogh was employed by the Hague gallery. Also they were run by french art dealers but did you know  that he was only at the age of sixteen. Vincent and his brother Theo were working miners but they didn’t work there for that long.

Johanna Gesina Van Gogh was the first wife that Theo had married and also she was the first to publish the letters that Vincent wrote to Theo after his death. Theo died in 1891 and his mother  died in 1907 and Theodorus died in 1885 also their best friend died in 1909, the friend had died two years after the mother but it doesn’t mention the sisters or  even the real artist Vincent. Vincents widowed cousin who he fell in love with in the summer of 1881 in Etten. Still grieving about her loss of her husband Cornelia rejected  Vincent and returned to amsterdam.
It looks that he must have loved drawing and paintings.

Thank you Kevin for correcting my work about Vincent Van Gogh.
