It is easy to recognized Van Gogh artworks because of his use of bright colors and hightly recognizable style. Notable pieces, such as his ' Starry Night ' and self portraits are admired by artists and art enthusiasts alike. Troubled with mental illness, financial ruin, and romantic heartbreak, Vincent's troubled life is reflected in the honesty and emotion that his paintings are known for. His greatest paintings were created in the final two years of his life and are considered to be the most highly recognizable and expensive pieces of art today. Van Gogh has become an icon as a post impressionist painter and one of the most famous artists of all time.

Van Gogh life was tortured by mental illness, he suffered from many different illness, such as temporal lobe epilepsy and depression. And because those illness, he can not produce any art at all while his epilepsy worsened over the years. He slipped ito deeper depression as he can not experess himself. By 1889, he began suffering delusions that he was being poisoned and checked himself into an asylum in St. Remy. Athough he is limited to paint scenes of the asylum's clinic and gardens, he created his most famous painting the starrying night during that time.

Vincent Van Gogh lived only until his thirty-seventh year. During his short life, Van Gogh only sold one painting, 'The Red Vineyard'. Though his work is internationally recognized today, Europe was not ready for his particular style of artwork while he was alive. His paintings and sketches depicted the world the way that he saw it - beautiful while also being emotionally morbid. Even his use of colour, especially his fondness for golden yellows, can be directly linked to the way that he saw the world around him. His vision was tinted yellow, a side effect of the drug, Digitalis, which he used to help control his epilepsy.
