Unfortunately, differing personalities and artistic vision led to the relationship breaking down and it was following an argument between the two artists on Christmas Eve 1888, that van Gogh famously self—mutilated by cutting off part of his left ear. In the period following, van Gogh produced a work entitled "Self-portrait with Pipe and Bandaged Ear and "La Berceuse”.

The best works from this period are bolder and more visionary than those completed while he was in Arles. In May 1890, van Gogh returned to Paris.

    Throughout his entire career as an artist, he only sold one painting. He lived in poverty, and suffered from severe malnourishment and sleep deprivation. All of his sufferings sent him spiraling into “fits of madness and lucidity,” which ultimately placed him the Saint-Remy institution after cutting off his own earlobe in attempts to murder his friend and fellow artist, Gaugin (“Van Gogh Gallery”).
