  1. Vincent van Gogh cut off part of his ear during a mental health crisis in 1888.

    He was living in France and had a fight with his friend, the artist Paul Gauguin. After that, Van Gogh had a breakdown.

    He cut off part of his left ear and gave it to a woman at a nearby brothel. Some say it was someone he knew or trusted.
    It was a tragic moment linked to his mental struggles, not just an artist’s dramatic act.
