Vincent Willem van Gogh, famous Dutch post-impressionist painter who many claim provided the foundation for modern art, suffered bouts of mental illness throughout his adult life. Although he died largely unknown at the age of 37, his self-portraits, landscapes, and sunflowers, are among the world's most treasured pieces of art.

Van Gogh, ill and fearing that his only friend would leave him, came at his partner and friend Gaugin, with a razor blade. However he fled the hotel in a panic and went to a brothel. There he cut off the lower part of his own left ear and handed it to a prostitute. He was hospitalized several days after.
