Vincent Van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853 in Zundert, Netherlands. He was a post-Impressionist painter whose work had a strong influence on 20th century art. He died on July 29, 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise, France.
There are many theories as to why Vincent Van Gogh killed himself, but the most likely explanation is that he was suffering from a mental illness and was not in touch with reality.
One theory is that he had bipolar disorder (or manic depression), which causes extreme mood swings that can result in impulsive or violent behavior. Another theory is that he suffered from epilepsy, which can cause seizures and can make people depressed. People with epilepsy may also have other mental disorders such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. However, there is no evidence that Van Gogh suffered from either of these conditions before his death.
Van Gogh’s early life was marked by tragedy. His mother died when he was just 11 years old, which may have contributed to his later mental illness. His brother Theo died of typhoid fever in 1891, which devastated Van Gogh who considered him his best friend.
He spent time in an asylum for his first suicide attempt in 1873, but after his release he continued to suffer from mental illness and depression. As his art became more popular and successful, so did his mood swings; eventually they got so bad that he began having hallucinations and hearing voices telling him that people were plotting against him. This caused him to become paranoid and paranoid schizophrenic.
Many people think Vincent van Gogh killed himself because he was so depressed. But it is not clear if this is true.
