21. Several Members Of The Van Gogh Family Spent Time In A Mental Institution
After Vincent cut off his own ear lobe, he went into a mental asylum for a while. Many historians feel that this was only one of his many stays in a mental institution. However, Vincent was not the only Van Gogh to spend time in a mental institution. His sister, Wilhemina van Gogh, spent about 40 years in a mental asylum. Some historians believe that Theo Van Gogh also spent time in a mental asylum after Vincent’s death.
