Van Gogh's Life of Struggle: How Vincent Never Saw His Success

This documentary profiles Vincent van Gogh, the Dutch Post-Impressionist whose genius went unrecognised in his lifetime. It follows his life of struggle, poverty and mental anguish, and how he became one of the most celebrated painters in Western art only after his death. It links his turbulent life to the works that made him immortal. It is a moving watch for anyone drawn to art and its greatest tragedies. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
