Self-Portrait 1887

Vincent van Gogh's 1887 "Self-Portrait" exemplifies his Post-Impressionist style. Painted during a period of intense personal turmoil, the portrait captures the artist's distinct features with bold strokes and vibrant colors. His yellow hair, beard, and the greenish hues of his clothing contrast with the dark background, creating a sense of isolation and emotional depth. The swirling brushstrokes and visible impasto add to the dramatic effect, revealing van Gogh's unique artistic vision and the intensity of his artistic process. This masterpiece, currently housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, is a testament to van Gogh's self-exploration and the raw power of his artistic expression.
