He Started Painting at 27. Dead at 37. The True Story of Van Gogh. | VERSO

He sold exactly one painting in his lifetime. He called The Starry Night a failure. He started painting at 27 and was dead at 37. Behind the myth is one of the most documented life stories in all of art history.

This compilation brings together 25 verified facts across five chapters: his life and letters, the ear incident, the Sunflowers, The Starry Night, and the legacy he never knew he would leave.

Everything in these videos is drawn from primary sources — Van Gogh's own 820 letters to his brother Theo, contemporary accounts, and the research of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
