Due to the lack of money to invite models, Van Gogh painted a lot of self-portraits, the most famous of which is "Self-Portrait after Cutting Ear". Van Gogh's work was kept by Van Gogh's younger brother Dio and later sold to the Dutch government for millions of dollars. The condition is the establishment of the "Van Gogh Foundation", which is controlled by the Van Gogh family, and a "Van Gogh Museum" in Amsterdam. Yellow is Van Gogh's representative color.

On March 30, 1853, Vincent Van Gogh was born in Zindert, a small town in the Brabant region of the Netherlands. At the age of 11, he transferred to a boarding school in Zevenbergen. At the age of 13, he attended Tilburg Middle School and dropped out halfway through the second school year. At the age of 16, he joined the Gubir International Art Company as an apprentice. Van Gogh was transferred to Paris in 1875 and fired in 1876. After leaving Gubir, Van Gogh returned to the UK to work as a voluntary teaching assistant at a boarding school in Ramsgate. At the end of 1876, Van Gogh returned to Brabant, the Netherlands, but did not return to Britain. Dutch period (1880-1885) In October 1880, Van Gogh moved to Brussels and began to study painting skills. Since there was no longer a steady income, his younger brother Dio helped him from time to time. In the spring of 1881, Van Gogh moved to Eton, Brabant, to live with his parents. On Christmas day in 1881, Van Gogh left home after a quarrel with his father went to The Hague to find a distant cousin, the then-known painter Anton Muff learned painting. In early 1882, Van Gogh met Sean and became his model and lover. Sean had fallen into dust, was pregnant in Rokko, and had a five-year-old daughter. The two rented a room, and the family was able to live in. The two eventually broke up. In December 1883, Van Gogh moved back to Nuenen to live with his parents again. Van Gogh's father died at the end of March 1885. "Potato Eater", completed between April and May 1885, was Van Gogh's first large-scale figure painting, and he was very satisfied. At the end of the year, Van Gogh decided to go to the Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium, said goodbye to his native Netherlands, and never returned. Paris period (1886 – 1888) At that time, the Paris art market was popular with Japanese Ukiyo-e prints. He had never been to Japan's Van Gogh and loved Ukiyo-e. His style was influenced by Ukiyo-e. One of them was "The Sower". At that time, Ukiyo-e woodcut prints cost only a few cents. Van Gogh bought 660 pieces held an exhibition in an attempt to resell the profits, but only sold more than a hundred copies, about 500 of which have been circulating to this day. Arles (1888 – 1889) On February 20, 1888, Van Gogh took a day and a night train to Arles, a small town on the Long River, and began his creative heyday. He lived in Arles, southern France, and established the "Southern Studio." Van Gogh invited Gauguin, his long-cherished favorite, to live in a yellow house. The yellow house became Van Gogh's painting "The Yellow House." Van Gogh used his paintings to decorate the yellow house. Five versions of "Sunflower" were born inside the house. The first "Sunflower" appeared in the house in August 1888. "Sunflower" did not bring Van Gogh's fame and fortune, his letter to his younger brother Dio on October 25, 1888 was pessimistic. "If my paintings don't sell, I can't do anything about it, but that day will come. People will realize that these paintings are more valuable than pigments and our spent livelihoods." Gauguin and Van Gogh had many creative sparks. In tribute to Van Gogh, he drew a painting "Vinson Painting a Sunflower. Van Gogh". Unexpectedly, this painting became the fuse of Van Gogh and Gauguin, which eventually caused a bloody case because of different painting concepts. On December 23, 1888, Gauguin had a fierce quarrel with Van Gogh, Gauguin threatened to leave, which led to the recurrence of Van Gogh's disorder. He threatened Gauguin with a razor, and eventually cut off his left ear, wrapped it in a newspaper and gave it to the prostitute in the red light district. After Van Gogh came to the hospital to wrap the wound, he painted "Self Portrait After Cutting Ear." The next morning, Van Gogh was admitted to Arles' hospital. After hearing the news, Dior hurriedly boarded the southbound train. Dior went to the hospital to visit Van Gogh accompanied by Gauguin. Van Gogh had no memory of the ear-cutting incident. On December 30, 1888 (Sunday), the local newspaper "Republican Forum" in Arles reported on Van Gogh's "Ear-cut Incident" under the title "Disillusionment of Dreams". Saint Remy Period (1889-1890) In early January 1889, Van Gogh was discharged from the hospital and picked up his paintbrush again. However, his mental illness fluctuated in the following months. On May 8th, Van Gogh feared a relapse and voluntarily admitted to St. Remy's psychiatric hospital. On January 31, 1890, Van Gogh's brother Dio gave birth to a son, Van Gogh drew "Apricot Blossoms" for his brother and newborn baby. Under the blue sky background, the big branches are covered with snow-white apricot flowers, the blooming flowers on the apricot branches symbolize new life. This painting is deeply influenced by Japanese art. Van Gogh was ill in a sanitarium and painted in the ward when he was in good shape. Once he ate some oil paint under extreme disorder and was banned from working for some time. Van Gogh was very productive during Saint-Remy, completing about 150 paintings and more than 100 drawings in 108 days. Van Gogh's style of painting began to trend towards expressionism,his works were full of melancholy spirit and tragic hallucinations. "Starry Night" is a representative work of this period, the scenery described is exactly St. Remy, where the mental hospital is located. In May 1890, "Iris" was conceived in a mental hospital. The ink used in this painting was particularly heavy and it took one month to fully dry. Van Gogh left St. Remy's psychiatric hospital in May. During this time, he abandoned sleep and forgot to eat, basically creating a work every day, and his health seemed to improve. In July, Van Gogh knew that his brother was frustrated after he quit his business, he was worried that he would lose financial support and be depressed. On July 10, a letter written by Van Gogh to Dior foretold the suicide ending:"After figuring out what I want, I drew three more works on the cloth. All are wheat fields under the rolling sky, I try to express Feelings of sorrow and extreme loneliness. You will soon see that I hope I can take them to Paris as soon as possible. I am almost certain that these paintings can tell you the feelings that I cannot express in words, the health that the village has. "The inspiring charm." The painting that Van Gogh referred to is "Crows in the Wheat Field". On July 27, Van Gogh walked into a wheat field and shot his chest with a revolver. Then, he returned to his lodging hostel. Dior rushed from Paris to Orville to accompany his brother. Two days later, Van Gogh died after being injured. On July 30, Van Gogh was buried in Orville. He left a huge artistic heritage with over 850 paintings and about 300 works on paper. In 2014, commemorating the 125th anniversary of Van Gogh's death. Dutch artist Rothgard designed Van Gogh's Starry Night cycling track based on Van Gogh's "Starry Night". The bicycle track is about one kilometer in length, is the world's first luminous bicycle track, passing by Van Gogh's birthplace, Zindert. The bike path is paved with materials that absorb solar energy during the day and glow at night.
