On 23 December 1888, Vincent van Gogh cut off his ear. He took it to a prostitute in a hotel in Arles in southern France where he was living at the time. The painter died one and a half years later following a suicide attempt.

He was hearing voices inside his head and they were telling him bad things. He thought cutting off his ear would help... I did not.
