Theodorus was the name of Vincent's father and also of his younger brother who was called Theo for short.
That was his only job.
Yes, "Starry Night" by Vincent van Gogh is in the public domain as it was created more than 70 years ago and the copyright has expired.
No. Rubens lived more than 200 years before van Gogh was born.
In autumn 1884, Margot Begemann, a neighbor's daughter ten years older than him fell in love, and he reciprocated.. They decided to marry, but the idea was opposed by both families.
More types of funny stuff than one can imagine.
It seems he learnt no other language than his native Dutch.
Vincent van Gogh had five siblings. Their names were Theo, Anna, Elizabeth, Wil, and Cornelius. Theo, his younger brother, played a significant role in Vincent's life as an art dealer and supporter of his work.
No because he did not get married However there were some speculations that he had a child with the prostitute he lived with, Sien (some further reading here: http://thegirlwithgreatexpectations.wordpress.com/2013/06/05/sien-and-van-gogh-a-significant-episode-in-his-controversial-life/ ) but they had not been acquainted long enough by the time she gave birth, so it was imposible for him to be the father.
He wanted to do something worth while after having failed in different jobs. Vincent Van Gogh did it to express himself in ways people could see and understand.
He had been dead for more than 20 years before anybody got interested.
More than 2,000 artworks, consisting of around 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches.
