26. Theo Compared Vincent To Beethoven
From 1886 until early 1888, Vincent and Theo lived together at Theo’s house in Paris. During this time, Theo worked in art dealing business. After seeing some of his brothers’ art, Theo started to tell Vincent he should become a regular painter. Theo also connected his brother to several other artists, such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Pissarro, and Seurat. When writing about his brother to another artist, he stated, “I should not be surprised if my brother were one of the great geniuses and will one day be compared to someone like Beethoven.”
