Did van Gogh live in France?

After training as an art dealer in Amsterdam, Vincent Van Gogh was transferred to London in June 1873, where he lodged at 87 Hackford Road, Brixton and worked at Messrs. Goupil & Co., 17 Southampton Street. This was a happy time for Van Gogh: he was successful at work, and was already, at the age of 20, earning more than his father. After a stint in France, he returned to England to do unpaid work, first as a supply teacher in a small boarding school overlooking the harbor in Ramsgate. When his employer relocated, he returned home to the Netherlands.
