The Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh is a great inspiration and a genius whose reason for cutting off his ear remains a mystery. Vincent van Gogh is a highly renowned artist. He is a source of inspiration for transforming his art and characteristics into various objects that identify his style and personality. Van Gogh, with his unique personality, left an important legacy of works and characteristics very much in his style.
Regarding his childhood, Vincent van Gogh commented: "My youth was sad, cold, and barren." From a very young age, he displayed a difficult character and a strong temperament. After leaving school and spending a year in isolation, van Gogh began working in 1869, at the age of 16, as an apprentice at Goupil & Co. (later Boussod & Valadon), a major international art-trading company in The Hague, in which his uncle Vincent was a partner. He adapted quite well to this new life, even writing: "It is a wonderful business. The longer one works in it, the more ambitious one becomes."
