Although it's said Van Gogh（梵高）（1853﹣1890）sold only one painting during his lifetime，different theories（理论）exist（存在）.

It is true that The Red Vineyard is the only painting sold during Van Gogh's lifetime，and that was officially（官方地）recorded and accepted by the art world.It's recorded that Van Gogh started painting at 27，and died at 37.His famous paintings were produced after he went to France in 1888，only two years before he died.So it would be clear that he did not sell many.

However，others disagree.The leading Van Gogh scholar（学者），Marc，is one of them.Though the story that Van Gogh sold just one painting still goes around，he insists（坚持说）that Van Gogh sold at least two.

Also，according to the Van Gogh Museum website，Van Gogh actually sold a number of paintings for living during his lifetime.His first money came from his uncle，who was an art dealer（经销商）.In order to help Van Gogh's career（事业），he ordered 19 paintings.And Van Gogh himself would often trade his paintings for food or art supplies（美术用品）when he was younger.

V died in July of 1890.His brother was a wise dealer and saved lots of paintings by Van Gogh.His greatest wish was to make the works more widely known and make much money.Sadly he himself died just six months later.He left a large collection of art to his wife，who "sold some of Van Gogh's works，lent as many as she could to exhibitions，and published（出版）many of Van Gogh's letters to his brother.Without her，Van Gogh would never have become as famous as he is today." After her death，her son founded the Van Gogh Museum.

We see humans all around us.But when was the first human seen？Early humans did not leave behind any written records.However，they left behind many paintings on the walls of the caves（洞穴）where they lived.These paintings tell about their life，and we know these early humans walked on four limbs（四肢）like apes（猿）.Also，they did not live at one place but moved from place to place in search of food and water.

Without any tools，early humans used stones，bones of animals，and sharp pieces of wood to dig，hunt and cut their food.They also used these to protect themselves from animals.Since stones were used to make tools，this age was called Stone Age.

With time going，tools made of bones and stones were replaced with metal（金属的）ones which were stronger，sharper，and long﹣lasting.Metals were also used for farming and making knives.Copper（铜）was the first metal to be used.

The first fire that early humans noticed was natural fire caused by lightning（闪电）.With fire，early humans could light up dark caves.They could keep themselves warm during cold weather and cook meat.Also the fire could drive animals away.

Early humans noticed new trees growing from the seeds（种子）that fell to the ground from the fruits.This gave them the idea that they could make their own food by planting seeds，which led to farming.With the beginning of farming，early humans began to settle down（定居）.They moved out of the caves and lived on farms and near their fields together，then the first villages came up.

Raising animals was a big event in human history that changed the life of early humans.The wild dogs were probably the first animal to be raised.As time went，goats，sheep，cows，donkeys，and horses were kept，too.This led to herding（畜牧业）.Milk，meat and wool came from these animals.
