Description
Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh painted a self-portrait in oil on canvas in September 1889. The work, which may have been Van Gogh's last self-portrait, was painted shortly before he left Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in southern France.The painting is now at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.PaintingThis self-portrait was one of about 32 produced over a 10-year period, and these were an important part of his work as a painter he painted himself because he often lacked the money to pay for models.He took the painting with him to Auvers-sur-Oise, near Paris, where he showed it to Dr. Paul Gachet, who thought it was "absolutely fanatical"
