🎨 Self-portrait in a light jacket – Vincent van Gogh (circa 1887)

A fragile light, a penetrating gaze

Under the vibrant and nervous brushstrokes, Van Gogh is revealed here with sobriety, dressed in a pale jacket, almost fading into the bluish-green background that surrounds him. The face, meanwhile, remains strikingly intense, marked by redness, shadows, and light. It is a silent self-portrait, yet deeply expressive.

Historical context: the need for introspection

Created around 1887, this work demonstrates Van Gogh's desire to experiment with color and texture, using himself as a model. In Paris, he discovers the influences of Japonism and the Impressionists, but remains faithful to his raw and personal style. This canvas reflects a moment of artistic and emotional transition.

Visual analysis: subtlety and tension

The olive green background, animated with vertical and diagonal streaks, surrounds the face like a subtle whirlwind. The brushstrokes, short and quick, depict a copper beard, a piercing green gaze, and barely closed lips, between weariness and determination. The palette is limited but bold, contrasting between cool tones and warm touches.

An emotional reading: the inner struggle

This self-portrait reveals a man in deep introspection, between apparent calm and latent tension. The gaze is both harsh and melancholic. He seems to probe the viewer as much as he questions himself. It is a work about solitude, lucidity, and the artist's perseverance in the face of his demons.
