Van means "from" in Dutch, and as a particle, should notbe capitalized with Vincent (or any other name) in front of it, and should be capitalized without.
Thus: Vincent Van Gogh painted wonderful art.
Later, Van Gogh cut off his ear.
As an added note: his birth name is Vincent Willem van Gogh- Gogh is technically where he is from.
