Vincent Willem Van Gogh was born the 30th of March 1853 in Groot-Zundert, Septentrional Bravant, Holland.
He died the afternoon of the 27th of July 1890 in Auver-sur-Oise, France.
Vincent died because of the wounds he had in his chest of gun shots.
It is important to mention the relation between Vincent's death and his relationship with the Gachet's family.
