The work is characterised by thick brushstrokes and a muted palette, conveying introspection and resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003ePainted in 1889, Vincent van Gogh's \"Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear and Pipe\" is one of the most recognisable images in art history. It was created shortly after an episode in which the artist mutilated his own ear. The painting presents a direct, unflinching gaze. Van Gogh is depicted wearing a fur cap and a brown overcoat, with a white bandage covering his ear. He holds a pipe in his mouth, and smoke curls upwards into the air. \n\nThe background is composed of a pale green wall with a Japanese woodblock print hanging on it. The print adds a layer of cultural context, reflecting Van Gogh's interest in Japanese art. The brushwork is characteristically thick and textured, with visible strokes that contribute to the painting's emotional intensity. The colours are muted, dominated by browns, greens, and whites, which convey a sense of melancholy and introspection. \n\nThis self-portrait offers insight into the artist's state of mind during a turbulent period of his life. It is a powerful representation of suffering, resilience, and the complex relationship between the artist and his self-image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/two-vases-with-tulips-alfred-william-finch-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eTwo Vases with Tulips - Alfred William Finch — Alfred William Finch\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/three-pears-paul-cezanne\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThree Pears - Paul Cézanne — Paul Cézanne\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vincent-van-gogh\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Vincent van Gogh →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vincent van Gogh","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57112915706191,"sku":null,"price":25.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57113047826767,"sku":null,"price":31.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57113047859535,"sku":null,"price":40.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57113047892303,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57113047925071,"sku":null,"price":49.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57113047957839,"sku":null,"price":40.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57113047990607,"sku":null,"price":40.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57113048023375,"sku":null,"price":40.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57113048056143,"sku":null,"price":54.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57113048088911,"sku":null,"price":54.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57113048121679,"sku":null,"price":54.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57113048154447,"sku":null,"price":81.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57113048187215,"sku":null,"price":81.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57113048219983,"sku":null,"price":81.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57113048252751,"sku":null,"price":105.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57113048285519,"sku":null,"price":105.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57113048318287,"sku":null,"price":105.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57113048351055,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57113048383823,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57113048416591,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_521e296c-0ae1-4ae4-b64c-f5f6ad4a3330.jpg?v=1777149405","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/self-portrait-with-bandaged-ear-and-pipe-vincent-van-gogh","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
