Poor VanGogh.... After painting with heavily leaded paint (Flake White) by day it seems that he drank absinthe at night...
Lead is a neurotoxic metallic element that can be absorbed by the body, primarily through the lungs and stomach, and through the skin. It has some nasty symptoms including fatigue, serious depression, and heart failure.
I wonder what roles these toxins played in his sufferings?
