Vincent van Gogh's Self-portrait is a compelling example of his intense self-examination and mastery of Oil painting. Created during his Post-impressionism period, this Canvas vividly captures his expressive brushwork and emotional depth. Van Gogh often depicted himself from the mirror, so the face in the Self-portrait shows his right side, which is the mirror image of his actual face. These portraits played a vital role in his oeuvre, offering insight into his troubled yet passionate artistic soul.
