Self Portrait 1889

Vincent van Gogh's "Self Portrait" (1889), a striking example of Post-Impressionism, portrays the artist with a sense of introspection and vulnerability. The thick, visible brushstrokes, characteristic of Van Gogh's style, create a textured surface and emphasize the emotional intensity of the subject. Van Gogh's intense gaze and the bold use of color, particularly the vibrant blue background, contribute to the painting's emotional weight and make it a captivating exploration of the artist's inner world.
