'''Vincent Van Gore, the Starving Artist''' (Japanese: セニョールプジイ ''Señor Pujī''), is a ghost painter who has the ability to make his paintings reality. He is responsible for creating the minor ghosts that flooded the rooms and halls of [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|Luigi's Mansion]]. After being released by [[King Boo]], Vincent Van Gore locks himself in [[The Artist's Studio|the mansion's studio]], giving the key to his room to [[Sir Weston]] in the [[Cold Storage]], and bringing his ghastly works of art to life. These ghosts filled the mansion, providing the backbone of King Boo's forces. As such, Van Gore is a fundamental player in King Boo's quest to capture both [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. Without the constant supply of ghosts, Luigi would have had a much easier time defeating King Boo and the portrait ghosts.

After battling past almost all of the mansion's ghosts, Luigi is ultimately discovered Vincent Van Gore, the source of the troublesome ghouls, in The Artist's Studio on the third floor of the mansion. However, instead of fighting Luigi directly, Van Gore brings his latest works of art to life to attack the green-clad plumber. As such, Luigi has to exterminate seven sets of minor ghosts (with three ghosts per set) before he can face off against the artist himself. 

After Luigi eliminates all of his ghost creations, Vincent Van Gore becomes deeply saddened by the loss of his artwork. In this state of depression, Van Gore's heart is exposed and Luigi can easily suck up the spirit with his [[Poltergust 3000]]. The ghost artist barely puts up a fight, weakly pulling as he is being sucked in. After Van Gore was defeated, Luigi acquired the [[Secret Altar]] [[Key]] needed to open the door to the lair of [[King Boo]] (and [[Mario]]'s cell). After the artist is caught, the minor ghosts in the hallways will stop appearing.

==Van Gore's ghosts==
In battle, Van Gore used sets of ghosts to attack Luigi; each group consisted of three of the same kind of spectre (five in the [[Luigi's Mansion#PAL Differences|PAL Hidden Mansion]]). In order, the seven following types of ghosts were:
* 3 [[Gold Ghost]]s
*3 [[Purple Puncher]]s
*3 [[Blue Twirler]]s
*3 Red [[Grabbing Ghost]]s
*3 Red [[Shy Guy Ghost]]s
*3 [[Garbage Can Ghost]]s
*3 [[Purple Bomber]]s

==Trivia==
*Vincent Van Gore is a parody of the artist [[wikipedia:Vincent van Gogh|Vincent van Gogh]]. However, Van Gore speaks with a stereotypical French accent, even though van Gogh was Dutch. This may be because, when [[wikipedia:Vincent van Gogh|Van Gogh]] died, he was living in France.
*Sculptures of [[Biff Atlas]] and [[Lydia]] can be found in Van Gore's studio.
*Vincent Van Gore is the only non-Boss ghost to house a "''special key''". This also means he is the final [[Portrait Ghost]] to be captured.
*In his Silver Frame, Vincent Van Gore's painting depicts him green.
