He was a Dutch post-impressionist painter born in 1853 who died in 1890 aged 37.
Mental illness troubled Van Gogh and may have contributed to him cutting off his right ear and committing suicide with a shot gun.
Fame did not come until after his death, leaving behind around 2,000 pieces of art work consisting of paintings, drawing and sketches.
