Vincent Van Gogh Self Portrait With Palette Throw Pillow

Vincent Van Gogh Self Portrait With Palette Fine Art Painting Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Post-Impressionist painter whose work was most notable for its rough beauty, emotional honesty, and bold colour. The dozens of self-portraits by Vincent van Gogh were an important part of his oeuvre as a painter. He was a prolific self-portraitist, who painted himself 37 times between 1886 and 1889. The paintings vary in intensity and colour and some portray the artist with beard, some beardless, some with bandages. This self-portrait was painted in Saint-Rémy in 1889 and depicts Vincent van Gogh, holding a palette in his left hand. The vivid orange of his hair and beard create a startling contrast to the bold blue background. Van Gogh wrote in a letter to his brother Theo about this portrayal as the one that captured his 'true character'. Beautiful artistic vintage fine art portrait painting.
