The day he committed suicide LINK

The key was that a Van Gogh scholar knew VG's work well enough that when he saw a very old postcard, he recognized what Van Gogh had painted.

VG could have benefitted so much from modern medicine. Whether he would been an incredible painter is highly unlikely, however. Aren’t tortured artists the best?

VG could have benefitted from not going "Mike Tyson" on his own ear.

Plot twist: Van Gogh traced the postcard.

And, of course, there was that matter with the gun.

Sad. Would've loved to see some of his stuff if he was able to get a better handle on everything.

“The spot is around 500 ft away from the Auberge Ravoux, the inn in Auvers-sur-Oise where Van Gogh had stayed during the last 70 days of his life.”

Just 500 ft away and it took the French 130 years to figure this out?

I went to the bar one time and saw Van Gogh saddled up. I went up and asked, "Need a beer?" He replied, "frick you, I hear just fine!" I think he misunderstood me that a-hole.

In Van Gogh's case, some of his most famous paintings were likely interpretations of how he viewed scenery on medication.

They likely 'surrendered' the work to others...
