A failed preacher haunted by his own ghost becomes the world's most famous painter - but dies thinking he's worthless.

Vincent van Gogh walked past his own grave every Sunday as a child. His parents had given him the exact name and birth date of his stillborn brother. That shadow never left him.

Inside this lightning-fast biography:

Van Gogh lived like he painted: in violent bursts of color and obsession. He fought with every mentor, sabotaged every relationship, and poured his madness onto canvas until there was nothing left. By the time the world noticed, he was already dead at 37.

The tortured artist wasn't a myth. It was a Tuesday.
