Sixteen years old van Gogh started a position at his uncle’s galleries in which were located in London, Holland and France. But van Gogh had quite a temper and was difficult and passionate.

It was not until he had reached an age of 27 that he realised what he wanted to do with his life. He was determined to be a painter. Because he felt that he could give something to people.
