Vincent Van Gogh was a Dutch painter who didn't start painting until he was 27 years old. He moved to Arles, France where he enjoyed painting the beautiful landscapes surrounding the city. His favorite color was yellow, so he bought a yellow house and decorated his bedroom with yellow. He stayed in Arles for a long time, painting landscapes with trees, mountains, and the sky. He especially enjoyed painting sunflowers. Van Gogh sent many letters to his brother Theo but struggled with mental health issues late in life. He painted over 900 paintings but only sold one during his lifetime.
