Self-portrait of Van Gogh - Natália, Rafael, Sofia 8ªC



This is the Self-Portrait of Vincent Van Gogh. 
He was born in 1853 in a city named Zundert and the artwork was painted in 1886/1887.
What we liked the most about the painting is that it shows, at the same time, sensibility and anger. We think that in his eyes it's possible to feel the conflict, because Van Gogh was a perturbed person, he had some mental illness too. 
This artwork shows himself and he is not smiling or giving a nice look, he is serious and rough. Also, we really liked the details in the background: one side shows the "calm" and the other side shows the "dark" (the light colors in the left and the dark colors in the right). 
The strength is in his eyes, and the weakness are in the colors.
