👩🦳 Portrait of the artist's mother – Vincent van Gogh (1888)

💚 A maternal figure, between memory and light

In Portrait of the Artist's Mother, Vincent van Gogh pays tribute to one of the most important women in his life. The face of his mother, Anna Cornelia van Gogh, is painted here with softness but also an evident inner strength. The bright green background contrasts with the model's pale complexion, giving her an almost spiritual aura. It is a portrait both personal and universal: that of a beloved, respected, and exalted mother.

🕰️ A work of memory and reconciliation

Painted in 1888 in Arles from a black and white photo, this canvas reflects Van Gogh's need to reconnect with his family roots. Through this portrait, he does not seek a photographic likeness, but an emotional truth. He reconstructs the image of his mother in an expressive, colorful style, matching the affection he had for her despite their religious and cultural differences.

🎨 Visual analysis: sharp contrast, tender gaze, expressive touch

The intense green background highlights the facial features with great clarity. The black of the clothing accentuates the purity of the face. The visible brushstrokes, characteristic of Van Gogh, convey the volumes without rigidity, in a vibrant texture. The gaze, slightly turned, gentle and determined, reflects the strength and kindness of a filial bond.

💭 Emotional reading: between filial love and the quest for inner truth

This portrait goes beyond a simple tribute. It is a silent dialogue, an attempt to capture not only his mother's physical appearance but also what she represents in his life: stability, origin, moral strength. It is also an act of forgiveness, acceptance, a bond maintained through painting.
