Self-Portrait with Portrait of Émile Bernard (Les misérables) 1888

"Self-Portrait with Portrait of Émile Bernard (Les misérables)" is a 1888 oil painting by Paul Gauguin, depicting a self-portrait alongside his friend Émile Bernard. The bold, contrasting colors and simplified forms are characteristic of Gauguin's Post-Impressionist style, which he developed during his time in Pont-Aven, France. The background is dominated by a vibrant orange, with stylized flowers dispersed across the canvas, adding a decorative and symbolic element. The painting is now part of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and is an important example of Gauguin's artistic exploration of symbolism and his friendship with Bernard.
