Vincent Van Gogh, Self Portrait


Vincent Van Gogh was born in Holland in 1853. This self portrait is one of 43 that he painted in his lifetime. Self-portrait was painted in 1889, one year before he died.


This is The Potato Eaters, regarded as his first masterpiece, painted in 1885.


This is one of Van Gogh's more recognizable paintings, Starry Night over the Rhone.


Van Gogh completed over 450 works between 1884 and 1889, and surprisingly this is the only painting he ever sold. It is The Red Vineyard painted in 1888.
