¿Pero cómo perdió la oreja este famoso pintor?, este ha sido una pregunta rodeada de intenso debate y contradicciones, pero la teoría que ha predominado es que el pintor se habría enterado de la boda de su hermano Theo y debido a eso decidiera automutilarse su miembro auditivo.
Al parecer el pintor temía quedarse solo y sin el apoyo económico que su hermano le había ofrecido el cual le permitiría proseguir su carrera artística, se dice que después de cortase la oreja se la entregó a una mujer llamada Raquel que trabajaba en un burdel.

But, how did this famous painter lose his ear? This has been a question surrounded by intense debate and contradictions, but the theory that has prevailed is that the painter would have heard about his brother theo's wedding and because of that he decided to self-mutilate his auditory member.
Apparently the painter feared to be left alone and without the financial support that his brother had offered him which would allow him to continue his artistic career, it is said that after cutting his ear he gave it to a woman named Raquel who worked in a brothel.
