The story of van Gogh

/kloc-Vincent Van Gogh, a great artist in the 0/9th century, was born in a pastor's family in Dherdt, southern Netherlands on March 30th, 853. His father is Theodore Lu Van Gogh, a local priest. His mother's name is Anna cornelia. Four years later, Van Gogh's younger brother Theo was born. He was the staunchest supporter and admirer of Van Gogh in his life.

Van Gogh didn't like learning when he was a child, but he was very talented in language. He can speak English, German and French, and he can also write letters with them. In addition, he later learned Latin and Greek when he was studying religion, and his mother tongue was Dutch. He always knows six languages. This shows that Van Gogh is a very clever man, and he is not a madman! This must be clarified! Please read the article "You can't describe him as a madman".

186 1 year, van Gogh entered primary school. 1869, 16-year-old Van Gogh entered the Hague branch of Paris courier company (the largest gallery in Europe at that time) under the introduction of Vincent, an artist with the same name as Van Gogh. This shop was founded by Uncle Vincent. The current manager is a young Mr. Testiger. This shop sells copies of oil paintings and famous paintings. Van Gogh worked as a shop assistant there. Later, due to his excellent work, he was transferred to the London branch. Van Gogh's simple, sincere and enthusiastic personality made others like him very much, and his future seemed bright, because his uncle was one of the largest art dealers in Europe at that time, and he was regarded as the ideal successor of this famous art dealer.

Van Gogh learned a lot of artistic knowledge and read a lot of literary works through his work these days (Van Gogh loved reading all his life, as can be seen from his letters), which made him have a high artistic appreciation at an early age, which also laid the foundation for him to become an outstanding artist in the future. His favorite painters are Miller, Rembrandt, Brayton and others.

187 1 year, my father was transferred to Helvette.

/kloc-in the summer of 0/872, Van Gogh returned to Helvette to visit his parents and met his younger brother Theo, who was studying abroad. In August, Theo went to The Hague, and Van Gogh and his younger brother had a pleasant and unforgettable day. After Theo left, they started a lifelong correspondence. These 650 letters written by Van Gogh to Theo are the most important information for us to know about Van Gogh. (Please see Van Gogh's letters on this website)

1873, Theo began to work in the Brussels branch of Gubil Company and became a colleague with Van Gogh.

1874, Van Gogh failed to propose to his landlord's daughter in London, which was the first great blow. Desperate, he lost his enthusiasm for his work, and his customers and colleagues had a lot of complaints about him. Finally, at the beginning of 1876, Van Gogh was fired by Gubil Company.

Van Gogh found a job as a teacher through an advertisement in the newspaper. 1in April, 876, he came to Ramsgate, a seaside town in England, and worked as an unpaid intern teacher in a school run by Mr. Stokes. In July, the school moved to Lovas, but after the probation period, Van Gogh still didn't get his salary. He began to look for another way out. At this time, he was lucky enough to meet the local pastor Jones and work in the pastor's office.
