The Enigmatic Artist: Vincent van Gogh
The Master of Melancholy
Vincent van Gogh, one of history’s most famous painters, battled severe mental illness throughout his life. Despite his artistic genius, van Gogh’s inner demons led him to take his own life in 1890, leaving a legacy of both brilliant art and profound sadness.
The Price of Genius
Van Gogh’s vibrant works often reflected his tumultuous emotions, yet his mental health struggles were not fully understood during his lifetime. His tragic end serves as a poignant reminder of the link between creativity and mental illness, and the need for compassionate support for artists.
