There is perhaps no more famous artist in the world than Vincent van Gogh. His painting The Starry Night, is one of the most recognizable images ever. Amazingly, he didn't realize his talent or even have a desire to become an artist until his early 20's. Upon moving to Paris in 1886 and taking in "modern" art (later known as the impressionists period), he forged his own unique personal style. Vincent loved the color yellow and sunflowers. Some speculate both lifted his spirits as he suffered from mental illness. He wanted to be known as the painter of sunflowers, so he painted 11 canvases in total. His roommate and fellow painter, Paul Gauguin, even painted a picture of Vincent painting sunflowers. When he died, friends brought sunflowers to his funeral. Sunflowers became synonymous with Vincent van Gogh. Though his painting career spanned only 10 years, van Gogh was prolific, creating over 2000 works that are now admired in museums and galleries around the world.
