Portrait of a Man 1888

Vincent van Gogh's "Portrait of a Man" (1888), currently housed at the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands, showcases the artist's signature Post-Impressionist style. Characterized by bold, expressive brushstrokes and vibrant color, the painting captures the sitter's melancholic gaze with a sense of raw emotion. The use of thick, visible brushwork creates a textured surface, adding depth and dynamism to the portrait. The artwork’s unique palette, with its striking contrast between the green background and the man's dark clothing, further intensifies the sitter's somber mood.
