Francis Bacon's "Study for a Portrait of Van Gogh" (1957) is a captivating exploration of the artist's fascination with his predecessor. This study captures Van Gogh's iconic straw hat and a glimpse of the artist's figure, though shrouded in darkness. The bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors, including a striking red ground, create a sense of urgency and emotion. This artwork exemplifies Bacon's signature style, characterized by distorted figures and raw emotion.
