https://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/files/2016/12/sede-1602-clip2.jpg1280720Born March 30th, 1853 in Holland, Vincent van Gogh was the eldest son of a Protestant minister. Vincent was expected to conform to a strict, religious upbringing. At the age of 16, he went to work at his uncle’s art dealership. But things soon started to go wrong. Struggling to fit in, Vincent was forced to leave his job and withdrew from society at age 23. With his younger brother's support, in 1880, at the age of 27, Vincent threw himself into his art. In 1886, he decided to move in with Theo in Paris.
