His father, Theodorus van Gogh was a minister and his mother, Anna Cornelia Carbentus, was an artist. Art Also played a large part in the life of his father\u2019s family for many generations. He attended the local village school briefly at the age of 7 before being home schooled with his brothers and sisters a year later. But at the age of 11 he was sent to boarding school, far from his family. He studied art under Constantijn C. Huysmans and learnt to speak French, English and German but due to financial constraints, he was forced to leave school and start work at the age of 15.<\/span><\/p>\r\nHis uncle (also Vincent) gained him employment with an art dealership, Goupil & Cie, who sent him to work in England<\/a> in 1873 (then aged 20). He loved the culture in England and earning a respectable wage, Vincent seemed very happy. He fell for Eugenie Loyer, the daughter of his landlady, but when she turned down his marriage proposal he became deeply depressed. Van Gogh became isolated finding solace in god. He moved to France<\/a> but the change of scenery didn\u2019t relief his growing depression. He lost his enthusiasm for his work and even put off potential buyers, growing a hatred for how art was merely sold as a commodity rather than appreciated for its own sake. In 1876 due to his new work ethic he was made unemployed by Goupil & Cie.\u00a0 Van Gough returned to England and began to teach at a Methodist boarding school and it was here that he decided he wanted to become a minister like his father. <\/span><\/p>\r\n
