Van Gogh Self Portrait Musee d’Orsay
Van Gogh Self Portrait 1889
The “Self-Portrait” painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1889 is one of the most notable and celebrated works by the Dutch artist. Created during a particularly tumultuous period of Van Gogh’s life, this painting is often regarded as a poignant reflection of his mental state at the time. Painted shortly after Van Gogh had suffered a breakdown in Arles which resulted in the famous incident of him cutting off his own ear, he created this self-portrait during his stay at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
The “Self-Portrait” of 1889 is characterized by Van Gogh’s signature style of bold, swirling brushstrokes and vibrant, emotive use of color. The painting exhibits a haunting intensity in Van Gogh’s gaze, which some interpret as a window into the artist’s troubled soul. Despite his mental anguish, the self-portrait also displays Van Gogh’s unyielding resolve to continue with his art. The thick, textured application of paint and the choice of colors create a sense of depth and emotion, making this artwork a powerful statement of self-expression.
This self-portrait is just one of many that Van Gogh painted throughout his lifetime, but it stands out for its raw emotional power and is often cited as one of the most profound self-portraits in the history of art. Today, it remains a testament to Van Gogh’s enduring impact on art and his relentless pursuit of his craft, even in the face of personal adversity. The “Self-Portrait” of 1889 can be seen at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, where it continues to draw the admiration of visitors from around the world.

The Church At Auvers By Van Gogh
The Church at Auvers Van Gogh
“The Church at Auvers” is a significant painting by Vincent van Gogh, completed in June 1890, just a few months before his death. This artwork depicts the church in Auvers-sur-Oise, a small town north of Paris where Van Gogh spent the last few months of his life. The painting is renowned for its striking use of color and bold brushwork, which conveys the emotional intensity for which Van Gogh is famous.
In this painting, the church is rendered with an almost expressionistic style, with the building’s architecture appearing to twist and contort under the artist’s dynamic brushstrokes. The vibrant blues and greens of the sky contrast sharply with the earthen tones of the church and surrounding landscape, creating a scene that is both familiar and surreal.
“The Church at Auvers” is more than just a landscape; it’s a reflection of Van Gogh’s psychological state and his perception of the world around him. The painting is now housed in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris and remains a poignant reminder of Van Gogh’s unique vision and his ability to infuse his work with profound emotional depth.
Wheatfields with crows
Van Gogh Wheatfield with crows
“Wheatfield with Crows” is one of Vincent van Gogh’s most powerful and evocative paintings, often considered one of his final works before his death in July 1890. The painting is famous for its dramatic, overcast sky filled with crows over a golden wheatfield, and is frequently interpreted as an embodiment of the artist’s troubled state of mind during his last days.
Created in Auvers-sur-Oise, the painting’s composition with the crows flying off into the distance, the tumultuous sky, and the seemingly endless wheatfield has led many to view it as a symbol of isolation and turmoil. However, some art historians suggest that the painting’s vibrant colors and dynamic brushwork also reflect a sense of vitality and emotional intensity.
“Wheatfield with Crows” is a testament to Van Gogh’s profound connection to nature and his capacity to convey deep emotion through his art. The painting’s charged atmosphere and the path that cuts through the wheatfield, leading to an uncertain horizon, continue to captivate and intrigue viewers. It remains a powerful piece within Van Gogh’s oeuvre and is held in high esteem within the art community.
