Van Gogh only sold this pathetic amount of paintings in his life.

Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting in his lifetime.

Van Gogh was a struggling artist his entire life.

Though he finished almost 900 paintings, he didn’t sell any until The Red Vineyard in Brussels for 400 francs.

This was just months before he died. It was after his death that he became much more popular and recognized for his work.
