Vincent Van Gogh faced challenges like: thinking he was a bother to his brother, cutting his ear off, and surviving bleeding to death for 2 whole dies before eve tually dieing.

A bit of additional information worth considering:

Mr. Van Gogh`s biggest challenge as an artist was an arguable lack of talent, especially when compared to many of his contemporaries. In the eyes of many, his art from beginning to end showed an amateurish quality typical of many beginning painters and of schoolchildren, with his fame based more on his ill fated association with his roommate, Paul Gauguin, and the greatly exaggerated self-mutilation as a result of this attempted relationship. Even "gay Paree", in those days, did not openly accept gay realtionships between men.

In any case, Mr. Van Gogh's ultimate challenge was the pschosis that developed from these challenges (his inability to match up to his contemporaries, and his attraction to Mr. Gauguin), resulting in his suicidal death at the age of 37.

Today, he would likely have faired better - at least in love, if not in art.
