Happy Birthday, Vincent!​

The Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853, in Zundert, Netherlands. After abortive attempts at being an art dealer, a teacher, and a missionary, van Gogh took up art in 1880. Over the next decade he completed an extraordinary amount of work, and his style transformed rapidly from dark and sober to colorful and exuberant. Though he only sold one painting in his lifetime, his popularity grew after his death in 1890, thanks to the efforts of his sister-in-law, Jo van Gogh-Bonger. Today, Vincent van Gogh is perhaps the most recognized painter of all time.
