Vincent Willem Van Gogh was born on 30 March 1853 in Groot Zundert and had, due to his extreme sensitivity as an artist, a very  tormented.
Son of a Protestant pastor, while still living in Zundert, Vincent made his first drawings. Instead, schools in Zevenbergen begin. Learn French, English, German and for the first time start painting.
After completing his studies, he went to work as a clerk in the branch of the Parisian art house Goupil and Cie, later in the headquarters of the Hague (where he frequently visits local museums), London and Paris. In May 1875 he was definitively transferred to Paris.
  
The transfer to the French city, where his brother Theo already resides, marks the beginning of the French period, interrupted only by a brief trip to Antwerp at the end of that year. Much of his time is spent along with his brother and the two, from that moment, begin a correspondence that will last a lifetime and which still represents the best way to study Vincent's opinions, feelings, mood and painting.
