About the artwork
Van Gogh painted this self-portrait in Paris in 1887, during a period of experimentation with brighter colours and new ways of applying paint. Working from a mirror allowed him to practise painting faces without paying a model.
Short, distinct strokes build up the face, hat and background. The canvas also holds an earlier painting on its reverse, a reminder of the practical constraints behind his work.

About Vincent van Gogh
Dutch · 1853–1890
Vincent van Gogh made colour and brushwork a way of expressing how the world felt. Largely self-taught, the Dutch painter developed his art through close observation, drawing and a restless willingness to experiment.
In Paris, the work of the Impressionists encouraged a brighter palette and more distinct strokes. In the south of France, those discoveries became the animated landscapes and expressive portraits that define his work. Our first collection brings together a Paris self-portrait and a summer landscape from Saint-Rémy.
