Few artists embody the struggle between genius and suffering like Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890); the Dutch painter whose swirling skies and blazing colours forever changed the way we see the world. From his early years of poverty and rejection to his prolific final months in the South of France, Van Gogh’s life was marked by obsession, faith, and a desperate search for meaning through art.

In this episode of The History in Motion Podcast, we follow Van Gogh’s journey from preacher to painter, exploring his bond with his brother Theo, his turbulent friendship with Paul Gauguin, and the mental battles that led to both his greatest works and his tragic end.

Was he a madman, or a visionary centuries ahead of his time? Join us as we uncover the heart, heartbreak, and brilliance of Vincent van Gogh, the artist who painted eternity in every brushstroke.
