Unlike most artists, Van Gogh developed very slowly, beginning with work as an art dealer that exposed him to many great works.

Explore the extraordinary life of St. Vincent De Paul, a man of humility, compassion, and generosity whose impact resonates even today. Born around 1581 and living until 1660, Vincents early life was shaped by his own experience of slavery, having been captured by Turkish pirates and sold in Tunis.
