Yes, he cut off his ear, and yes, he is the archetype of the “starving artist” trope.  
 
Now that we have that out of the way, we can talk about how brilliant the Post-Impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh was.
 
Bold colors (I mean he’s practically the granddaddy of Fauvism), brushstrokes that seemed to move on their own, and paintings full of symbolism you can’t quite decipher all characterize a Van Gogh painting.
 
And even though he had no commercial success during his life (after all, that is the theme), he is considered now one of the most important painters in history. A large part of that is due to his siblings devotion to Vincent and belief in his work.
