Vincent Van Gogh Painter Horoscope

 Vincent Willem van Gogh (March 30, 1853 – July 29, 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who posthumously became one of the most influential figures in Western art. Despite producing over 2,100 artworks (including ~860 oil paintings) in just over a decade, he sold only one painting in his lifetime. He struggled with mental illness, poverty, and isolation, yet created masterpieces like Starry Night, Sunflowers, and The Potato Eaters. His expressive use of color and bold brushwork profoundly shaped modern art.

• The Potato Eaters (1885) His first major work showing peasant life; dark, earthy tones.
  
  
• Sunflowers (1888–1889) Series of still lifes (most famous version in 1888); vibrant yellows, symbol of gratitude and friendship (painted for Gauguin).
  
  
• The Starry Night (1889) Painted while in Saint-Rémy asylum; swirling night sky with cypress tree, moon, and stars — one of the most recognized paintings in art history.
  
  
• Irises (1889) Created at Saint-Paul asylum; vivid purple flowers against green, considered one of his most beautiful works.
  
  
• Wheatfield with Crows (1890) One of his last paintings (July 1890); dramatic stormy sky over wheat field with flying crows — often seen as a symbol of his inner turmoil.
  
  
• Portrait of Dr. Gachet (1890) Painted in Auvers-sur-Oise; melancholic portrait of his doctor — sold for a record-breaking $82.5 million in 1990.
