Beskrivning
A poignant 1889 self-portrait by Vincent van Gogh, painted in Arles following his hospitalisation. It features the artist in a fur-lined cap and green coat.
Painted in Arles in January 1889, this work captures the artist shortly after the well-documented incident involving the mutilation of his left ear. Van Gogh depicts himself in a three-quarter view, wearing a heavy green coat and a blue fur-lined cap. A white bandage covers the side of his head, drawing the eye directly to the site of his injury. His expression is composed, reflecting a period of intense introspection following his hospitalisation.
The background features a wall painted in a pale, acidic green, which contrasts with the darker tones of his clothing. A Japanese woodblock print is visible on the wall behind him, a detail that speaks to the artist's admiration for ukiyo-e aesthetics. This inclusion provides a sense of context for his studio environment and his interest in the flattened perspectives and clear outlines found in Japanese art.
The application of paint is characteristic of Van Gogh's later period. He uses short, rhythmic brushstrokes that follow the contours of his face and clothing, creating a sense of movement across the surface of the canvas. The colour palette is deliberate, balancing the cool blues and greens of his attire against the warmer, flesh-toned hues of his face and the stark white of the bandage. The composition is tight, focusing the viewer's attention on the artist's gaze, which remains steady despite the circumstances of the painting's creation. This work remains a primary example of his ability to translate personal experience into a formal study of colour and form.

Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear - Vincent van Gogh
Artist Biography
Vincent Van Gogh
He taught himself to draw by copying prints and working through textbooks. His brother Theo, an art dealer in Paris, sent money every month for the rest of Vincent's life. Without Theo there are no paintings. The letters between them, over 600, are one of the most complete records of any artist's thinking. Van Gogh wrote about colour theory, composition, what he ate, what he read, how much he spent on paint. He was articulate and well-read and not, despite the popular version, simply mad.
He moved to Paris in 1886 and encountered Impressionism. The palette changed immediately: from the dark browns of his Dutch period to the colours people actually associate with his work. He met Gauguin, Pissarro, Signac, Toulouse-Lautrec. He absorbed Pointillism and Japanese prints. Then he moved to Arles in the south of France, where the light was better and people were fewer.
The Arles period produced Sunflowers, The Bedroom, Starry Night Over the Rhone. The breakdown followed: the argument with Gauguin, the severed ear (he cut part of his left ear, not the whole thing), the asylum at Saint-Remy, and then Auvers-sur-Oise, where he painted seventy canvases in seventy days before dying from a gunshot wound at thirty-seven. He sold one painting during his lifetime, or possibly two. Theo died six months later.
