Van Gogh Brought to Life | His Heart-Breaking Story & Face Revealed | Royalty Now

[@landiodo]

You are worth it. I promise you!

[@josi4251]

Absolutely! As someone who survived a very dark period of years, I reached out for help. Where there is life, there is hope. You are NOT alone.

[@cindy-tron]

Sometimes it's hard to take that sentiment to heart, especially when you're at your very bottom, it just feels like a throwaway thing people who don't know you say - they don't know how badly you hurt or how deep your despair is. The pain clouds judgment of reality. Those of us who suffer like Van Gogh did, often struggle to see the real importance and necessity of our existence in the world, the WHY we're "worth it". But it's the uniqueness of our individual experiences, the raw potential we each have every day, even at our lowest of lows - that's the WHY. Van Gogh didn't set out to be a legendary painter known through the world, it was his pain that brought him to ultimate purpose and I believe our pain can eventually bring us to ours as well.

[@adrielrowley]

I know there is some value, however, as an Autistic, know not as much as a neurotypical, most of them make this known. I have lived 36 years, feels totally wasted. Seven years fighting (partly because a husband and wife professor at Arizona State University made it their goal to prevent me earning a degree in Architecture) to get a Master's of Science of the Built Environment with a Concentration in Energy Performance and Climate Responsive Architecture, too mentally disabled to be traditionally employed, tried to start a sewing and upholstery business, everyone turns me down, the money spent on classes wasted (even the teachers ignored me, saw them answer everyone but me). With no employment, no ladies want me, so not happening either. I have realized no point trying to earn money, just beating my head against the metaphorical brick wall, stuck with barely able to make ends meet (despite financially qualified, denied food stamps, hey, good way to loose weight LOL). My cousin committed suicide, so don't think ever cross my mind (never got to know him or his two sisters). More importantly, have two dogs who need me, my siblings wouldn't take care of them (have it in my will if the Golden Retriever rescue not take them, take to my vet and have them euthanized). Have even asked for physical help and nothing, even if paid for the lunch (so total BS about if ask for help get it). I know when do pass away, will only be missed a short time, maybe a week or so, certainly not after my nieces and nephews pass (only one niece has noticed me). In fact, my brother has made it clear it make him happy as remove a burden. Sister is too busy, haven't had a conversation in years (not important to her). Parents are gone, Dad at age 72 because my brother and sister wouldn't listen to me about how sick he was. I am not depressed, tests show I am not. Rather, feel a little isolated, forgotten, however, because have barely any value, this will not change.

[@deniaridley]

@@adrielrowley Please read what @cindy-tron said above. Sometimes family are part of the problem and therefore can not (or will not or should not) be part of the solution. But there are way too many who have been where you are to think that no one will be able to help you. It CAN change. But your thought that it can't may very well prevent your seeking help from the folk who actually WANT to help. You obviously want help, please seek it from those who want to do it.

You guys left out the coolest part of his story. Theo's wife worked for years to store Vincent's paintings safely until a man who owned a Galery agreed to showcase his art. He became known as the artist he is today only because of her hard work!

[@akirebara]

without Jo, we wouldn't have Vincent & Theo's story. And she also reunited the brothers, having Theo's body moved from The Netherlands to Auvers so they can be side by side in their graves for all time.

I’m almost done with it and mentioned to my mom I was just going to throw it away because you can see the mistakes from my early attempts. She was horrified and asked to keep it because it shows how hard I’ve worked in the last year. I never thought of it that way!

[@harriet.z]

As a kid, even without knowing his story, his paintings always evoked something genuine, emotional, and fundamentally human in me. When I was slightly older, maybe in middle school, I learned more about him more, and my heart would shatter and only be pieced back together by looking at his artwork. Needless to say, he has always been my favorite artist. His style was just so uniquely him, and so transformative, that no one really rivals him in my opinion. Sunflowers are also my favorite flowers. I remember Doctor Who had an episode on him, and I cried the whole way through. I won’t say my life has been catastrophically depressing, but my god it just wrecked me seeing someone I’ve looked up to brought to life, and I have never felt so understood.

When I was 8 years old, and my teacher asked us to copy Starry Night, I broke down crying. My teacher had to take me out into the hall to calm down, and I told her nothing was wrong. It was just too beautiful, and then I couldn’t keep from crying. It was the first time I’d ever seen it, and tbf I’ve dealt with major depression for most of my life. The first time I attempted suicide was at 14.

[@virginiatyree6705]

I have seen almond blossoms so many times. His painting appears as though it's a photograph. Such a gifted/talented human, he was. v

[@sherkinbrain]

He was NOT the eldest child of six. He was the SECOND ELDEST of 7. His older brother - also named Vincent - was born and died exactly one year before Vincent the artist. His mother obsessed over her lost 1st son - she used to bring Vincent to visit the grave. This had a huge impact on Vincent.

[@silva7493]

Yes.

[@snausages43]

A very significant detail to leave out of a Van Gogh biography.

[@silaslangsyd]

I’m relieved you didn’t romanticise his suffering like so many do. I don’t believe it was his anguish that drove his paint brush for the most part, but the beauty and hope he saw and wanted so desperately for himself and others. Repeated failure despite one’s best efforts is despairing, and I just hope that in his more peaceful and happy moments he had at least an inkling of the talent and vision he possessed.

Unfortunately through his letters it’s clear he suffered greatly from depression and possibly Bipolar condition. It is truly heartbreaking to read his letters to Theo. He is probably my favourite artist of all!! He was also as handsome as his father and brothers (though he looks like his mother more) On a light note the recreation as a modern man looks very Simon Baker!! 😊

I can't even begin to describe how I feel right now. I have loved Van Goghs works since I am a child and as a grew older started painting and that became my career. But for decades I have suffered with mental health issues, to the point I can understand what is having manic episodes and what it entails for your own safety. I never knew that of Van Gogh and I see so much of my life reflected on his. Honestly I can't stop crying. My comfort is my family and I just wish he wasn't so alone, but I am glad that his brother was a light in his life.

I don’t believe he shot himself. If you go online you can read about the three boys that teased Vincent and wrestled with a gun. The boys bullied him! One of them made a dead bed confession.

[@kateross2424]

Van Gogh was such a beautiful soul who could have had so much but choice to have so little. He not only seemed like a good person who was just sick and lost but his art really does reflect his emotions. I think it people were just more kind to him he could have lived such an amazing and long life.

[@fleetskipper1810]

If you read his brother Theo’s letters, it’s clear that Theo cared deeply about him and financially supported him for much of his later life. Whatever mental issues that Vincent had, they caused him to lash out at people. Often times, he was not easy to be around. I’m sure that some people were kind to him, and some people were not. Being institutionalized give him some measure of calm and he could not get from living in the world. I’m not idealizing those institutions, but they offered him some sort of refuge, probably the best refuge available at that time in place.

[@avrevs]

Those kids that tried to destroy his sunflower painting made me want to knock their heads in - wicked, evil children! Their selfishness and disdain for someone who suffered so much was appalling. I learned quite a bit about him that I did not know from this video. Thank you, it's a lovely tribute!

I spent so long admiring his work at his museum in Amsterdam and have my own recreation/interpretations I’ve done of his work myself over the years to hang in my home. If you too are a fan and have never seen the episode about him in doctor who I recommend it highly, mainly the end bit where they bring him to the future to show him he’s loved. The actor does an incredible job and it just rips your heart out.

Sending you big hugs Nikki ❤, I can relate to all the points in your comment. I didn't see the Dr who episode but I will check.

[@Mrs.Patriot]

This brought tears to my eyes. Lovely tribute. Thank you.

[@lilykatmoon4508]

This breaks my heart. One of my favorite Dr Who episodes is when they go back to Van Gogh’s time and the add try’s to save him to no avail. Very moving.

[@JennyyP]

Ok but can we talk about how much his family actually cared for him?! Especially his brother! Like wow I legit cried at the end. May his soul be in peace. 🫶🏼

[@lubnamuhanad7525]

Seeing him smiling is just bittersweet 💔💔💔

[@louiselord100]

I wish I could meet him and talk to him about how much him and his art means to me

[@user39h2j8il]

Almost from the beginning of this video, i had a lump in my throat. Vincent is my favourite artist and always has been. There has never been anyone like him. I pray he is at peace with the Lord now. If he knew how much his work went for now.... he would be appalled. He would give it all away. There are very few this world has ever known who are not influenced by greed and possessions. The song "Starry, starry night" also makes me choke up.

[@debatthebeach433]

This is one of the BEST documentaries I have ever seen on Van Gogh and have spent a large amount of my time studying him. Thank you so much!

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

Thank you so much! That’s so kind of you to say. We had a great time making this one.

[@kirstin5520]

I think you did a good job with the sadness in the eyes, particularly with the period piece.

[@noonecares8932]

Depression is such a real horrible thing. I hope anyone reading this knows that you are loved.. and worth more than you can ever imagine!

[@GarikDuvall]

Seeing the recreations at the end change to smiles made me weep. What a sad, tormented life he lived, but no other has been able to turn that into such beauty as Vincent. A remarkable man who inadvertently blessed many generations to come.

[@MC-gt6yp]

Thank you for the beautiful history. The recreation of Van Gogh was brilliant too.

[@barefootlovers]

This was the most informative video I’ve ever seen on Van Gogh. Well done.

[@cloettehershey5261]

Wow! What a Amazing and Beautiful Tribute to such a Talented and Gifted tortured Soul! He captured Light and Color like no ones else’s! He had such a giving heart and did Give through his Magnificent Paintings! I was so touched to see him come to life! In your brilliant work we could connect more closely to this Genius we’ve admired for so long! Thank you so much for this lovely tribute to Vincent Van Gogh! Brava! 👏🏻😍🖤

[@dianaedwards4209]

I absolutely love your channel. I am a history buff and am astounded by your artistry, especially the smiles and modern interpretation. I am so glad I came across your channel!

[@redlantern3371]

There is controversy regarding the way VVG died. More and more people believe that it was teenagers in the village who had been harassing him. And that VVG did not want them pinned with the shooting, so he lied and said that he had shot himself. Either way, very sad ending to one of the most sensitive Artists ever. And my very favorite because of his immense struggle to make art despite the illness, the hardships, the loneliness......I hope that he had at least a few occasions to smile and be truly happy. At least more than that one year mentioned.

[@amb163]

Van Gogh is one of my favourite people in history. His story is truly heartbreaking and his art is magnificent. I wish he could have lived to see how much he's loved today. There's an episode of Doctor Who where he's brought to our modern day, and he is shown just that. I bawl every time I watch it -- truly a wish-fulfillment episode if there ever was one.

[@vialogan]

Wow! I've watched many AI recreation videos, and all bring new thoughts and understanding, but this one did me in. The sad life, the beautiful music, the sense of desperation and isolation, just overwhelmed me. And then, a younger, handsome Vincent looked straight at me and smiled, and I thought how different Vincent's life could have been in modern times. So beautifully done from beginning to end!

[@joselet3319]

Thank you for this beautiful and meaningful episode! Knowing about the life and struggles of such a talented human being is both emotional and inspirational to those out there struggling today. Thanks❣🙏

[@whatoncewas8480]

This was absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift. Even though he lived at a completely different time, is a completely different culture, and gender from what I am - I feel for this man. All he needed was somebody to care, understand, and empathize. You captured his soul, his light, and the pain in his eyes in your interpretation. This was so beautiful. What a man. ❤

[@huntrrams]

Recently finished reading Van Gogh: The Life and that was truly the saddest and well written biography I’ve read. Thank you for making this and telling his story.

[@rachaelbackdoor4872]

So thrilled you are doing other historical figures. I can't wait to see all the famous artists, civil rights leaders, and other "conquerors."

[@roisinp9988]

it's nice to see him smiling

[@tritzispoosa]

Great video. I think his self portraits strangely look more like his brother than the photograph of him. He was a genius that blessed our world greatly with his masterpieces.

[@kamakauli]

He is and was so handsome, somehow you captured so much kindness in his eyes. I would imagine him to be this way. His art is by far one of the greatest contributions to the celebration of our humanity

[@ChubbyAmadeusFan]

Yours is a channel that preserves the artist's dignity and reveals his true worth and I thank you for that. Thank you for reaching out to people who need help by calling/texting 988. Thank you for recreating a real life portrait of Vincent. You created a beautiful reflection of his soul.

[@bajoobiecuzican]

I saw some of his work at LACMA on March 30, 1999 when the museum in Amsterdam was being renovated. Then again in Amsterdam I saw his work in 2017. His Japanese series of paintings are my absolute favorites. If only he could have been loved as we love him now. He was a tortured soul, with a complete domination of rich, beautiful, powerful colors. I hope to meet him someday in the afterlife. I will shower him with the love he deserves.

[@onion6foot]

In the 1960s when I visited my elderly grandparents, one of the few items in their home was a book of masterpieces ( which I now have). An early memory is my asking about the bandage on van Gogh's head...(and looking at all the great works of art.) I became an artist. Love his work more than ever. Edit: I just heard the date that Vincent shot himself: July 27, 1890. Exactly 100 years to the day before my first child (son) was born. I never knew that until this moment.

[@antoniyayotsova5473]

This one got me and I was not able to hold my tears. What a gentle soul he was. I wish I would've been able to give him a hug!

[@lindaduncan5541]

My favorite artist…..so sad that he experienced so much pain and anguish.

[@chrismarchman4568]

I am so happy that you gave him a smile. Van Gogh has always been and always will be my favorite artist.
