After Vincent van Gogh discovered his vocation as an artist in 1880, he sought formal training to improve his technical skills. He first studied drawing at the Brussels Academy. Later, he also enrolled at the Antwerp Academy, though he frequently clashed with the institution over its academic principles, eventually leaving after three months to join his brother in Paris.1
