Though the world lost a creative genius when he committed suicide on July 29, 1890 at the age of 37, in the French town of Auvers-sur-Oise, Vincent van Gogh left behind an enduring legacy, one that has inspired generations and will continue to do so long into the future. Today, the world paid homage to his memory by holding exhibitions and workshops centred around some of his best known works. While his descendants laid sunflowers (in honour of his famous Sunflowers series of paintings) on his grave in Auvers-sur-Oise, Amsterdam celebrated his life by re- creating a life-sized self-portrait of Vincent Van Gogh with over 50,000 dahlias, flowers being one of Van Gogh’s favourite subjects.
