    Vincent van Gogh - Heroes Us Among

    INTRODUCTION

    Vincent van Gogh did not survive to see his brilliance acknowledged. Throughout his early years, Van Gogh struggled with fluctuating moods and lacked any early aptitude for creating art.

The Church also provided the family with a residence, two chefs, a maid, a gardener, a vehicle, and a horse in addition to the small salary Theodorus received as a preacher.
