Vincent Van Gogh sold more than one painting during his lifetime

Contrary to popular belief, Vincent Van Gogh sold more than one painting during his lifetime. While he was not a huge commercial success, his talent was appreciated by other artists in his circle who traded paintings with him and collectors who purchased his works. The myth that he only sold one painting stems from the fact that he was not commercially successful and had difficulty selling certain works. However, Van Gogh was not a solitary artist, as he collaborated with others and adapted his style based on the trends of the time.
