Eugène Boch 1888

Vincent van Gogh's "Portrait of Eugène Boch" from 1888 is a striking example of his post-impressionist style. The painting, characterized by bold brushstrokes and vivid colors, depicts the Belgian artist Eugène Boch, a close friend of van Gogh, against a backdrop of a dark blue sky dotted with white stars. The portrait captures Boch's likeness with a degree of emotional intensity, evident in the subject's intense gaze and the use of yellow and ochre hues in the face.
