Van Gogh suffered all his life from temporal lobe epilepsy, hysteria crises and hallucinations. More than one hundred and fifty psychiatrists have tried to diagnose the cause of Vincent Van Gogh&#8217;s illnesses and the diagnoses range from schizophrenia, porphyria, syphilis, bipolar disorder, and epilepsy.<\/p>\n<h4>2.] Van Gogh chopped a piece of his own ear<\/h4>\n<p>Van Gogh was indeed an eccentric character. He was close friends with Paul Gauguin, another famous artist. During an epileptic seizure, Van Gogh attempted to attack his friend Paul Gauguin with an open razor. This ultimately resulted in the Vincent cutting off a piece of his own ear &#8211; not the whole ear.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/van-gogh-couple.jpg\" alt=\"van-gogh-couple\" width=\"650\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>3.] Van Gogh lived in poverty<\/h4>\n<p>Vincent was a self-taught artist with little training and he, unfortunately, only became famous after his death. When he first began painting, he used peasants as models and later would paint flowers, landscapes and himself, mostly because he was too poor to pay the models.<\/p>\n<p>During his entire life, Van Gogh only sold one painting: <i>The Red Vineyard<\/i>, while he created a total of two thousand pieces of art, including nine hundred paintings and 1100 sketches or drawings. Now, any of his paintings are sold for millions: <i>The Portrait of Doctor Gachet<\/i>, for example, has been sold for $146 millions.<\/p>\n<h4>4.] &#8220;The sadness will last forever&#8221; were his last words<\/h4>\n<p>In 1890, Vincent van Gogh ended his battle with sanity and shot himself in a wheat field in Auvers, France, when he was only 37 years old. However, he did not die until two days later. His brother Theo reported the fact that his last words were \u00ab <i>La tristesse durera toujours<\/i> \u00bb which means \u00ab <i>The sadness will last forever<\/i> \u00bb, a sentence that reflects the deeply tortured mind of the artist.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/van-gogh-night-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"van-gogh-night\" width=\"650\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>5.] Van Gogh painted Montmartre<\/h4>\n<p>In the summer of 1886, Van Gogh arrived in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/city\/paris-walking-tours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Â鶹APP<\/a> and settled with his dear brother Theo near the district of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/paris-walking-tours\/montmartre-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Montmartre<\/a>.
