In 1888, Vincent van Gogh cut off part of his earlobe with a razor. Following the infamous incident, van Gogh was hospitalized and then checked himself into a mental institution. There he produced Starry Night, among other iconic pieces. Later, he documented what happened in a painting titled, Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear. Read why today one amateur historian is arguing that Van Gogh's self-inflicted wound that fateful night was much more extensive than scholars once thought.
