Explanation:

A brief history of Vincent Van Gogh is given below:-

• Vincent Willem van Gogh, also known as Vincent van Gogh, was a Dutch painter. He was born in Zundert, Netherlands, on March 30, 1853, and died in Auvers-sur-Oise, France, on July 29, 1890.
• Vincent van Gogh is largely considered to be the best Dutch painter after Rembrandt van Rijn and one of the greatest Post-Impressionists.
• The expressive brushwork, contoured forms, and startling colors that he used in his work had a significant impact on the modern art movement known as expressionism.
• After Van Gogh's death, his artwork had a spectacular surge in popularity, particularly in the latter half of the 20th century, when examples of it achieved unheard-of amounts at auctions held across the world and were featured in very successful travelling exhibitions.
• Van Gogh has often been portrayed in popular culture as the archetypal tortured artist. This is partially attributable to the fact that he authored a huge number of published letters.
