  1. Well there's a deeper meaning into why Vincent cut his ears off. It all started when he met this girl and she had burn marks because of treatment, Vincent is too emotional and he wanted to share the same pain with the girl so he cut his ears off so that they would share the same pain and he gave it to the girl because Vincent thought that this was the best idea to help the poor girl

  2. I watched your vids in art class and I absolutely love your vids. You are so into it and happy and you make the videos interesting. Even though I don't really care about his type of stuff, I wanted to tell you this.

  3. Paul and Vincent were good friends but they had a lot of conflicts because of Vincents anger issues. You forgot to tell a lot and focussed more on were he lived then on the Pain he had the go throug the majority of his life. He was poor and depressed.

  4. If you’re an admirer of van Gogh’s art (which I assume you are since you’re here) I highly recommend seeing “Loving Vincent”. It’s an incredible tribute to van Gogh. And, given how religious he was, and how suicide was viewed back then, plus the various clues… I’m inclined to believe the theory of how he died presented in “Loving Vincent”.

  5. "Vincent was probably a bit Vicky and hard to deal with"… do yiur homework. You have it BACKWARD, Gauging was the cockpit one. Vincent wrote Theo that it was a good thing there were no guns around, since Gauging had such an emotion temlerment, might not be safe around him… This was well known about Gaugin, a real narcissist and vain about his body and skills (eg, always picked fights boxing matches and duels using his sword/epee, which he carried with him EVERYWHERE).,Vincent was quiet and tame compared to Gaugin…

  6. loved this video, and your channel…I am visiting Avignon next week, and planning on doing a Van Gogh tour in Arles. I've always loved Van Gogh's work and knew few facts about him. I was looking for videos on Van Gogh to learn more about his life before the visit, and this video really hit it out of the park! Thank you

  8. When I was younger, a bunch of Van Gogh's work was traveling to various art museums around the world and I was fortunate enough to see the collection.  It was one of the best experiences of my life, and I hadn't really thought about that in a long time.  Thanks for giving me a break from school work and helping me remember my love for Van Gogh. This video was absolutely fantastic!
