Vincent van Gogh painted numerous self-portraits between 1885 and 1889, using his own image as both subject and mirror of his artistic evolution. Created during a period of personal struggle and financial difficulty, these works reveal the intensity of his inner life and his ceaseless experimentation with color, brushstroke, and form. In this Selbstbildnis, van Gogh presents himself with striking directness, his penetrating gaze set against a background alive with rhythmic strokes of paint. The portrait is not only a likeness, but also a study in psychology—an attempt to capture emotion, vulnerability, and resilience through vibrant, expressive color. Today, van Gogh’s self-portraits remain some of the most powerful testaments to the artist’s unrelenting search for identity and his profound contribution to modern art.
