Vincent van Gogh was born on 30 March 1853, exactly one year after his mother gave birth to a stillborn boy who was also named Vincent. The older brother’s grave remains in Zundert. A later story claimed that young Vincent regularly passed the gravestone bearing his own name; scholars of his letters have found no evidence for this.
