Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch post-Impressionist painter born in 1853 in the Netherlands who taught himself to paint later in life. He moved to Paris in the 1880s to study under newer painters like Monet and Gauguin and began using brighter colors in his work. Van Gogh later moved to Arles, France where he was highly productive, sometimes completing masterpieces in a single day, before committing himself to a mental asylum where he painted Starry Night and eventually died by suicide in 1890.
