I brings tears in my eyes to hear of the lengths that Vincentā€™s brother took to care for him. Even if his life was plagued with madness and despair, he did have someone who truly loved him. He was never unloved.

Theo Van Gogh would die within 6 months of Vincent, ostensibly due to "heredity, chronic disease, overwork, & sadness". Theo's wife, Johanna Van Gogh-Bonger is owed an immense measure of respect and gratitude for the work she did after their deaths in promoting Vincent's work, she did not want him or Theo to be forgotten

Thorā€™s wife, Johanna Gezina van Gogh-Bonger, worked tirelessly after Vincentā€™s death to preserve Vincentā€™s legacy. She was a second true friend to Vincent.

"violently strapped into the passenger seat of his own life..." Poetry. Once again, an amazing piece of work, and thank you.

I lost the man I love to suicide last fall. A year before he'd asked how someone could do that to their family, and force them through such horrible grief. As someone who'd experienced suicidal ideation, I explained it to him. Someone's lack of desire to end their life means nothing once that monster takes hold. I'm positive that he was completely out of his mind when he did it, and had absolutely no idea what he was doing. And I know for a fact that, had he been found in time and stopped, he would've wanted to be saved, too. Such a sad story. I'm glad Vincent's brother supported him. I wish more people in that time had had the same kind of sympathy for people suffering mental illness that Theo had.

Beautifully done. As someone who suffers from mental illness and addiction issues myself, the quote at the beginning really spoke to me: "If I could have worked without this accursed disease, what things I might have done."

the true tragedy of vincent van gogh is not his death, but he lived never knowing that he was loved centuries after his death.

Before I even watch the video: I read Van Gogh's letters from time to time, usually when I need a good, long cry. I don't know why, but his story, told in his own words, albeit fragmented due to the fact that many of his letters were lost, is one of the most touching I've ever heard. I just wish that the Theo's letters were preserved as well.. I can't recommend it enough!

I havenā€™t watched this video masterpiece but I cannot avoid commenting this. I found this channel recently and binged all the videos and couldnā€™t stop myself from thinking, ā€œA video on Vincent Van Gogh would be really fitting for a channel like this.ā€ Time to watch and listen with genuine awe.

Back nearly a decade ago, the Art Institute of Chicago held a Van Gogh exhibit, including the three versions of The Room side by side. But the thing that struck me most was a self-portrait he did; the way the impasto of the paint fell made it look three-dimensional and like the man himself was looking into your soul. Seeing any of his paintings in person is incredible, and he truly died the way he lived: tragically.

My heart just breaks for his brother. Sounded like such a kind person really torn up about his brothers illness. Poor Van Gogh

A few years ago I found myself on a bit of a Van Gogh pilgrimage. I was visiting a friend in the Netherlands and spent an afternoon at the Van Gogh museumā€” I had already been a great lover of his work, but found myself in tears as I went from room to room, following his life from beginning to end. I was going through Paris on my way home and ended up throwing out all the plans I had and going to Auvers-sur-Oise instead. Spending the time with his work and immediately following it with standing in the room he died in, standing over his graveā€” i cannot describe the feeling. Iā€™ve struggled with my mental health for a long timeā€” Iā€™m sure thatā€™s part of why I feel the way I do about the man. This video was beautiful. Thank you.

The fact that he was fired by the church for actually taking his vow of poverty seriously tells you everything you need to know about the church. Edit: To all the butthurt, pedant, apologists defending the church. You show me an organised religion that isnā€™t dripping in hypocrisy, and I have a unicorn and a mermaid to sell you.

When Vincent said "i acted alone, do not accuse anyone of anything" when the police said suicide is a crime suggests he was protecting the person who shot him (if his death wasn't a suicide) Further, the missing canvas suggests the said person took them

Your attention to detail makes these videos a joy to watch. As a native Dutch speaker I have to say that your pronunciation of his name is pretty much perfect.

The hardest tragedy is that such an amazing artist and humble man who always cared more for others never knew how intensely he impacted the world.

I went to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam a few months ago with my mother's childhood best friend for my birthday. I like art. I find a certain calmness and familiarity in it that helps me figure out my thoughts. I went to the Van Gogh Museum knowing very little about Vincen van Gogh. Obviously I knew who he was, because he is a world-famous Dutch artist and he was spoken of frequently in my school, but I never knew his life story. I'm so glad I want to that museum. First of all, his art is beautiful to me. It's so raw, in a wayā€”the messy brush strokes, slight imperfections here and there... I could relate to it, on a personal level but also on an artistic level. But I think what really brought me down to my knees and to tears was the story behind all his art. Before he moved to Paris, his art was dark, gloomy, and overall just depressing. (Take 'De Aardappeleters / The Potato Eaters' for example). But then he found France and his art just... lit up. Literally. Vibrant colours, beautiful landscapes... it was all there. And to know he was suffering and struggling so greatly at that time makes me really melancholic. His life story is so deeply sad, I cried in the car ride home, which was also a result of my mother's friend playing 'Vincent' by Don McLean, which to this day is still a song that can bring me to tears with only the first few notes. Vincent van Gogh was so misunderstood, and it genuinely makes my heart ache. I don't suffer from the mental problems he suffers from, but I do suffer from other mental illness. I wish he could've gotten the help he needed. I wish he was loved by more than just his brother. I wish someone bothered to see him, hear him, understand him. I could talk about Vincent van Gogh for hours on end (if that wasn't clear yet by now), but I won't bother anyone with that. This video was beautiful, and I hope more people will get to see all sides of Vincent.

My attention span has been atrocious lately, but you managed to keep me watching. What a tragically beautiful soul he is... People loved him, but his struggles were made even worse with drinking and people couldn't deal with his confrontational side... I know what it's like to spend a lot nights, some sleepless, nevertheless countless hours on troubled individuals that are lost in their own suffering. It's fortunate that he was able to leave something beautiful for others to connect with. Too many tortured souls never can overcome their shadow and nourish the spark of potential in them. He seemed to be nearing a peaceful point in life... Maybe his guilt for the conflict he caused in life overcame him after being shot, and the thought of anymore of it brought him traumatic memories and he just wanted peace. He just wants to bring peace, art, comfort and necessity to the world, what a loving guy Vincent is.

I think the 2 young squabbling men shot him by accident and he either didn't think the wound was so bad to seek immediate medical help or he knew, just resigned and simple didn't want to get them and him into a huge caffuffle and police inquiry. He was a gifted artist and tormented soul.
