Vincent van Gogh's Self-portrait offers an intimate glimpse into his emotional state and artistic process. Painted primarily on canvas using oil paints, these works are vital to his oeuvre, reflecting his development within the Post-impressionism movement. Van Gogh's self-portraits, often created from the mirror, depict his face as seen from his right side, which appears as the left in the painting. These introspective works serve as a visual diary, capturing both his self-perception and his groundbreaking style.
