Vincent van Gogh was born March 30, 1853, in Zundert, Netherlands. He is generally considered to be the greatest Dutch painter after Rembrandt. He powerfully influenced the current of Expressionism in modern art.  His work, all of it produced during a period of only 10 years, hauntingly conveys through its striking colour, coarse brushwork, and contoured forms, the anguish of a mental illness that eventually resulted in his suicide on July 29, 1890, at Auvers-sur-Oise, near Paris, France.
