In the 2nd-to-last line of your very fine poem, I would delete the comma from between 'world' & 'his'.

St.2, line 3: 'respectful' is not the form of the word 'respect' that 'you want'. I think I'd use 'respected' or 'respectable'.

St.2, line 1: I'd insert 'a' between 'but' and 'well'.

I'm back! ! stanza 1: 'serious' in U.S., not 'serios'; 'a woman Of disrepute and degrading profession.'? ? I never knew Vincent knew my great-great-grandmother! ! ! ; 'artistes' (now I know!) means, ...among other things, .....'artists'.

Another interesting and important stage in the life of a great artist, Van Gogh. His character is full of mystery, so complicated that every page of his book of life is captivating.
