Status Updates From Anhelo de Vivir

Vincent kept having episodes at the asylum. He lost the will to paint. His brother wrote to him that he had a boy now, and that someone bought a painting from him for 400 francs. This news inspired Vincent to start painting again. Vincent learned his episodes were caused by the religious nuns around him. His brother suggested he move to Auvers where it is more peaceful. Vincent decides to leave back to Paris.

Vincent was checked into St Remy Asylum. The place was depressing and the food was shit. “The cockroaches in his soup made him homesick for Paris.” His roommates each had something going on with them. He got to painting again. Requested to be let outdoors to paint; was approved. Then one day he was found face down in a ditch after not coming home like he said he would.
