The Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh revolutionized modern art with his emotionally charged brushwork and vivid colors. Despite creating over 2,000 works, including masterpieces like Starry Night and Sunflowers, he struggled with mental illness and remained largely unrecognized in his lifetime. His expressive style, marked by bold strokes and dynamic movement, deeply influenced 20th-century art. Today, van Gogh is celebrated as one of history’s most influential and beloved artists.
