During his lifetime Van Gogh was never famous as a painter and struggled to make a living as an artist. Van Gogh only sold one painting during his lifetime The Red Vineyard. This painting sold in Brussels for 400 Francs only a few months before his death. http://www.vangoghgallery.com/painting/ he Red Vineyard was exhibited for the first time at the annual exhibition of Les XX, 1890 in Brussels, and sold for 400 Francs (which is equal to about$1,000-1,050 today) to Anna Boch, an impressionist painter, and sister of Eugène Boch Mar 03 09, 7:40 AM
