00:12Let's dive in.
00:13Surprising fact number one.
00:15Van Gogh only sold one painting during his lifetime.
00:18It was called The Red Vineyard Near Arliss.
00:21Think about that.
00:22An artist now worth millions only managed to sell a single piece while alive.
00:26Reading from a letter, Theo said warmly,
00:29My dear Vincent, I've managed to find a buyer for The Red Vineyard.
00:33I know this will bring you joy, brother.
00:36That single sale was facilitated by his brother Theo,
00:39who tirelessly supported Vincent both emotionally and financially.
00:44Surprising fact number two.
00:46Van Gogh voluntarily admitted himself into an asylum.
00:49Following a mental breakdown, which included the infamous ear-cutting incident,
00:53he sought refuge at St. Paul de Mausel.
00:59Theηη gowns of murder as Dr. Robert Rav Shepard,
