Vincent van Gogh's self-portraits

Vincent van Gogh je nizozemski slikar 19. stoljeća. U svojoj kratkoj slikarskoj karijeri naslikao je stotine slika među kojima je 37 autoportreta. Svoj prvi autoportret naslikao je nakon dolaska u Pariz koji je u to vrijeme bio centar europske umjetnosti. Prvi autoportret naslikao pod utjecajem nizozemskog tradicionalnog baroknog slikarstva, a kasnije upijajući ideje impresionista i postimpresionista razvija svoj vlastiti stil. Njegov slikarski rukopis koji karakterizira debeli impasto nanos boje jedan je od najposebnijih rukopisa u povijesti umjetnosti. U svome radu ne boji se eksperimentirati s različitim stilovima i pravcima koje prilagođava svom pogledu na slikarstvo. Na Vincenta van Gogha utjecala je i japanska grafika, koja ga je očarala svojim bojama i plošnošću. Kroz njegova djela pratimo njegov slikarski razvoj, ali i razvoj njegove duševne bolesti. Vincent van Gogh bio je neshvaćen od svoje okoline, teško je stjecao prijatelje a priznanje za svoj rad dobio je tek nakon smrti.Vincent van Gogh was a 19th centuryDutch painter.

In his work, he was not afraid to experiment with different styles and directions that adjust his painting view.
