Not only was he a fantastically talented artist, but the man cut off his own ear! So you probably won't be surprised to know that he had a few other interesting quirks.
He was a very swift walker and often sped walk his way around London while staying there. One time, he walked 100 miles in three days from London to his sister's house in Ramsgate.
Van Gogh had rather odd taste in women too. He was drawn to widows and prostitutes of all people. If you're looking for an original Van Gogh for your persona art collection:
1) you better have a lot of money and 2) make sure it isn't actually signed "Van Gogh." He, instead, signed all of his paintings just "Vincent" because he was tired of people mispronouncing his last name. They would pronounce it "Van Gof."
