Ten years later he became a major artistic sensation in Paris. Over the 10 weeks spent in Auvers shortly before his death, van Gogh painted 70 canvasses, only one of which would sell while he was still alive. Currently, his paintings reach record-breaking prices and the artist himself is considered by many one of the greatest of all times.
