Vincent Van Gogh.


Vincent Van Gogh was a dutch painter. He was one of the most famous painters in all of history. He painted over 900 paintings, but unfortunately he only sold one painting in his lifetime. Which was the Red Vineyard. Not soon after he took his last breath and passed on, which was then when his sister in law took his paintings and tried selling them. That was when he became a world famous artist.
