Van Gogh can also be said to be inclined with religion being a son of a Minister.
Unlike Salvador Dali who started his career early and already recognized at age 27, Van Gogh was virtually unknown in the artistic world during this lifetime. Vincent Van Gogh only began painting during the last 10 years of his career.
