27. His Brother Theo Was His Biggest Supporter
Theo van Gogh did more than just support his parents, brothers, and sisters while he was growing up. He continued to be one of Van Gogh’s biggest supporters when it came to his paintings. In fact, if it wasn’t for Theo, we might not have known about the artist Vincent van Gogh. Not only did Theo financially support his brother until Van Gogh’s untimely death, but he also supported him by persuading him to start painting in order to help Van Gogh through his depression and other mental illnesses.
