Self-Portrait

Vincent van Gogh's self-portraits are a significant part of his artistic legacy, showcasing his intense emotional expression and mastery of oil paints. These self-portraits often depict him in a direct, candid manner, with the face often mirrored through the glass he used, showing his right side as the reflected left. Van Gogh’s approach aligns with Realism in capturing authentic human emotion rather than idealized beauty. His paintings, created on canvas, reveal a vivid and raw portrayal of himself, emphasizing the artist's psychological depth and self-exploration.
