Today, March 30, is Vincent Willem van Gogh's birthday. Born in 1853 and died in 1890, Van Gogh was, without a doubt, the best Dutch and one of the best European painters in art history. Van Gogh produced over 2000 works before his suicidal death in 1890.

Portrait of Doctor Gachet and Irises are two of his most famous and expensive paintings.

Van Gogh painted his works in Belgium, Amsterdam, Drenthe, Nuenen, North Brabant, and finally Montmarte in Paris.
