A direct gaze, an inner light: Van Gogh reveals himself in a self-portrait vibrant with life

Created in Paris in 1887, this Self-Portrait by Vincent van Gogh is one of the most dynamic and expressive of his Parisian series. At that time, he was experimenting with new techniques, influenced by the impressionists and the pointillists.
This painting is an exercise in style and artistic assertion: Van Gogh depicts himself with raw energy, a piercing gaze, and a boldly contrasted palette, which already foreshadow his major works to come.

A frontal composition, intense and colorful

A vibrant background, a fixed gaze, a silent tension

Van Gogh depicts himself half-length, slightly turned to the left, but looking straight at the viewer. His red hair, his red beard, and his light green-blue eyes are painted with a thick paste, full of movement.
The pointillist background, composed of small red, green, and blue strokes, gives the whole an almost electric luminous vibration.
His dark striped jacket, carefully painted, contrasts with the lively background, enhancing the intense presence of the face.

The face, although motionless, expresses an inner tension, a serious lucidity, but also a firm will to be seen as it is.

A transitional self-portrait: between influence and assertion

This canvas marks a decisive step in Van Gogh's evolution: he moves away from the dark realism of his beginnings to explore color as an emotional language.
His self-portrait is neither idealized nor neutral: it is a painting of truth, raw, an unfiltered mirror, filled with inner light.

"The colors themselves speak."
– Vincent van Gogh, letter to Theo
