Self-portrait - Vincent Van Gogh
Self-portrait, a key work by the post-impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh, is a bold exploration of self-reflection. One of the artist's many portraits, this painting shows Van Gogh with resolute features, his intense face emerging from a swirl of coloured ripples.
Van Gogh skilfully used shades of blue and green to create a vibrant, undulating atmosphere around his figure. His determined face, lit by soft light, evokes melancholy introspection. Her stare, almost piercing, conveys an inner struggle. Here, the artist exposes himself unvarnished, with heart-rending frankness, while his swirling brushstrokes evoke the turbulence of his mind.
