Brilliant Failure
Heads up! This page might contain comments that include spoilers about this puzzle. If you prefer a spoiler-free experience, you might want to solve the puzzle first.
For me the title is insulting to Van Gogh, who was brilliant, troubled, and not financially successful in his lifetime..but he created groundbreaking and moving paintings. So I wanted to add my voice to the comments I see here, expressing the same sentiments.

It is actually because of this: "When van Gogh painted his most famous painting, The Starry Night, he didn’t even think it was any good. In fact, van Gogh considered himself and many of his paintings to be failures, and it's rumored that he only ever sold one painting in his lifetime. If only we could go back in time and show him how well-loved he would be over 150 years on."

Van Gogh wasn't really a failure, but his success didn't come during his lifetime. "And I could have told you, VIncent, the world was never meant for one as beautiful as you."
