loved spending time in nature and playing with his brother Theo
. After leaving school, he began working as an art dealer.
Vincent showed promise
, but he found it more and more difficult to control his emotions and eventually had to leave. He had a go at many different jobs, including a teacher and a bookseller, but nothing felt right.

suggested that he try being an artist
. Vincent
dedicated himself to painting and never looked back

During his life, Vincent had little success, but today, his paintings are
admired and celebrated in galleries across the world
