                    Vincent van Gogh (March 30, 1853-July 29, 1890 (Died 37 years old)

Vincent Willem van Gogh was born in Zundert, Netherlands. He was a Post-Impressionism painter, which is a movement against impressionists' depiction of light and color. Van Gogh struggled with anxiety and mental illness, but calmed himself down with his art. Although, some scientists believe that his art caused his disorders. He created over 900 paintings, though in his lifetime he only sold two paintings. His family supported him in his art. He sacrificed his health for what he loved to do most. Some examples of this is once he became quite unstable from anxiety and his devastating addiction to Absinthe that he cut off his left earlobe. Also, his illness practically caused his death. He attempted suicide in his favorite meadow to paint, and died at a tavern in a small French town. Vincent van Gogh is my hero because he defied his health and paint what he enjoys.
