He drew pictures as a child and did not begin painting until his late 20s, after a broken heart led him to seek isolation and study religion. His first major painting was The Potato Eaters from 1885. He joined with the French Impressionists after moving to Paris in March 1886.
In a peculiar event in 1888, he sliced off a part of his ear, after which he went to a nearby brothel and fell asleep on the bed, nearly bleeding to death overnight.
