Reasons Why Van Gogh Became So Famous

Vincent Van Gogh was a Dutch painter & one of the most famous figure in Western art history.

Here are some reasons why Van Gogh became so popular.

Van Gogh's emphatic brushwork & unique coloring style has played key role in making him popular.

His "Sunflowers" & "Starry Nights" are two of the world's best-known paintings.
