They lived as outcasts but became legends posthumously! Join us as we explore the brilliant minds who died in obscurity, dismissal, or even disgrace, only to be celebrated as visionaries long after their final breath. From cosmic horror to genetic foundations, these unsung geniuses changed our world without ever knowing it. Our countdown includes Lovecraft who died believing he failed as a writer, Vermeer whose masterpieces were forgotten for centuries, van Gogh who sold just one painting during his lifetime, and Galileo who was silenced for challenging the Earth-centered universe. Which overlooked genius do you think deserves recognition the most? Let us know in the comments!
