D. Vincent van Gogh

Explanation:

    Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was an important Dutch painter, one of the greatest representatives of post-impressionist painting.

    Van Gogh died practically in anonymity after a tormented life that led to isolation and finally de end of his life. On July 27, Van Gogh leaves for the wheat field with a revolver in hand and in the middle of the field is shot in the chest, being rescued, but does not resist.

    Fame only came after his death. Much of his story is described in the 750 letters he wrote to his brother Theo, which showed the strong connection between the two.

    Although he had been drawing since he was a child, he started painting relatively late, but he still has more than 800 canvases. Among his best known paintings are: The Potato Eaters; Skull with cigarette access; The bridge under the rain; Still life with wormwood; The Italian; The red vineyard; The yellow house; Portrait of Dr. Gachet; Sunflowers; View of Arles with Lilies; Starry Night.
