Van Gogh records his own face with merciless honesty: gaunt features, red hair and beard, sharply drawn cheekbones. It is a face-to-face encounter with a man who chose to examine himself without embellishment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe background swirls with energetic, undulating brushstrokes in cool shades of blue and turquoise that seem to vibrate around the figure like a field of invisible energy. These rhythmic, hypnotic spirals contrast with the painter's steady gaze and his focused face, creating tension between inner calm and pulsing unease. The whole composition breathes with emotion and authenticity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Van Gogh the self-portrait was a form of deepest introspection. Unable to afford models, he painted himself dozens of times, turning his own face into a laboratory of colour, form and feeling. This work becomes the testimony of a man in search of the truth about himself — a portrait not only of a face, but of an entire soul, its fragility and unbreakable will to create.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most famous of this group, the self-portrait with its swirling blue background, was painted in September 1889 at the asylum in Saint-Rémy and now hangs in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. Van Gogh sent it to his brother Theo, noting it was an attempt to capture himself 'calmer, though the gaze remains as uncertain as before.' It is one of the last self-portraits of his life.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 1px; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 1px; background: rgba(255,255,255,0.2); height: 100%; min-height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: \u003c\/strong\u003eSelf-Portrait\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal title: \u003c\/strong\u003e Portrait de l'artiste\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003eVincent Van Gogh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlace of origin: \u003c\/strong\u003eSaint-Rémy-de-Provence, France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType :\u003c\/strong\u003e Painting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique: \u003c\/strong\u003eOil on canvas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003eSelf-portrait\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003ePost-Impressionism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm: \u003c\/strong\u003ePainting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giclee Art","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Pine","offer_id":57783024910684,"sku":null,"price":59.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57783024943452,"sku":null,"price":82.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Pine","offer_id":57783024976220,"sku":null,"price":101.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57783025008988,"sku":null,"price":124.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Pine","offer_id":57783025041756,"sku":null,"price":149.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57783025074524,"sku":null,"price":181.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57783025107292,"sku":null,"price":82.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57783025140060,"sku":null,"price":124.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57783025172828,"sku":null,"price":181.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57783025205596,"sku":null,"price":82.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57783025238364,"sku":null,"price":124.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57783025271132,"sku":null,"price":181.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57783025303900,"sku":null,"price":82.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57783025336668,"sku":null,"price":124.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57783025369436,"sku":null,"price":181.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0517\/2828\/files\/Vincent_Van_Gogh_-_Self-Portrait_Portrait_de_l_artiste_-_Full.webp?v=1780431773","url":"https:\/\/gicleeart.eu\/en-eu\/products\/vincent-van-gogh-autoportret","provider":"Giclee Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
