Self-Portrait with a Bandaged Ear - Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh painted one of his most poignant works in Arles: The Self-Portrait with a Bandaged Ear. This painting follows an episode of which it is an account: the gesture by which he cut off his ear with a razor. With his features drawn, his jaw clenched and his eyes lost in the distance, an impression of resignation and appeasement emanates from this work. The artist has juxtaposed colors close to each other on the color wheel that form a harmony of analogy, they combine without clashing.
