Self-portrait with Straw Hat – Vincent van Gogh (1887)

🖼️ Self-portrait with Straw Hat – Vincent van Gogh (1887)
Version on yellow background – Hand-painted reproduction – By Alpha Reproduction

A raw and vibrant solar self-portrait: Van Gogh confronts the light with strength and sincerity

Painted in Paris in 1887, this version of Self-Portrait with Straw Hat, entirely bathed in yellow and golden tones, is one of the boldest experiments by Vincent van Gogh on color, light, and self-image.
In a tight format, without external distraction, Van Gogh represents himself with intensity and simplicity, almost absorbed by the light.

A monochrome composition, saturated with warmth and energy

Everything is yellow: background, hat, jacket... except the gaze

Van Gogh paints himself three-quarters view, wearing a straw hat, dressed in a light jacket with red outlines, in front of a background entirely made up of curved yellow, ochre, and lilac strokes.
His pale green gaze remains the only point of contrast. He seems focused, scrutinizing, tired but clear-headed.
Here, the unique palette creates a fusion between the artist and the light: he does not stand out from the background, he is part of it, almost dissolving into it.

A radical exercise in style and identity

This painting bears witness to the influence of Impressionism and Japonisme on Van Gogh. But more than that, it represents an inner quest, a will to represent himself as he sees himself: a being in fusion with light, matter, color.

"Yellow is, for me, the color of love, warmth, and life."
– Vincent van Gogh (inspired by his letters to Theo)

In this self-portrait, color becomes language, light becomes emotion, and the face becomes a pictorial terrain.
