Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh is matched here to the Van Gogh Museum’s Self-Portrait as a Painter, painted in Paris in early 1888. Van Gogh depicts himself at work with palette and brushes, making the picture not only a likeness of his face but a statement of professional identity. Catalogued as F 522 / JH 1356, the historical oil-on-canvas painting measures approximately 65.5 × 50.5 cm and belongs to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Alpha Art Gallery offers reproductions as canvas prints, fine art prints, framed prints and 100% hand-painted oil paintings.
Important Identification
The product title “Vincent van Gogh” is too generic to identify a painting by title alone. Because your existing tags specify a self-portrait in the Van Gogh Museum, this page is matched to Self-Portrait as a Painter, F 522 / JH 1356.
This also keeps the product historically distinct from FA-VG-37 and FA-VG-39, which have already been matched to other Van Gogh Museum self-portraits.
Van Gogh Presents Himself as a Painter
Rather than showing only his head and shoulders, Van Gogh includes the tools of his profession. Palette and brushes make his identity as an artist explicit.
The self-portrait belongs to the end of his Paris period, when his palette had become dramatically brighter and his experiments with complementary colour were increasingly confident.
Colour on the Palette
Van Gogh discussed this self-portrait in his correspondence and referred specifically to the colours visible on the palette. The painting therefore provides unusually direct evidence of how he wanted to represent himself in relation to his materials.
The image is not simply “what Van Gogh looked like.” It is also a constructed image of Van Gogh the working painter.
