Vincent Van Gogh Research Paper

Vincent Van Gogh was an exceptional and uncommon man. Born in 1853, he grew up as the son of a minister in beautiful south Holland. Being famous for large, striking windmills and fields of beautiful flowers, like tulips; it is only imaginable what kind of inspiration Holland invokes. He was an odd child, preferring to keep to himself and simply look at things rather than play with the children.
