In what month and year did Vincent van Gogh die? July 1890.

Vincent van Gogh died in July 1890, specifically on July 29, in Auvers-sur-Oise, France. He was 37 years old. Two days earlier, on July 27, he had suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest. He returned to the Auberge Ravoux, where he was staying, and died there early in the morning.

Van Gogh’s final weeks were remarkably productive despite his declining mental and physical health. During his time in Auvers, he completed more than 70 paintings, including portraits, landscapes and the famous Wheatfield with Crows. He was receiving care from the physician Paul Gachet, who also became the subject of two portraits.

The date is sometimes confused with 1889, the year Van Gogh painted The Starry Night while staying at the asylum of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. June 1890 was the month in which he painted several important Auvers works, including Portrait of Dr. Gachet, but it was not the month of his death.
