Self-portrait with a bandaged ear II - Vincent Van Gogh
In 1889, Vincent Van Gogh, a notorious protagonist of Post-Impressionism, painted a new self-portrait, the one with the bandaged ear. The painting, which falls into the portrait genre, is a poignant testimony to his personal struggle with his inner demons.
At the heart of the work, the artist appears, his face marked by the ordeal, his intense gaze turned towards the viewer. Her head is wrapped in a bandage, recalling her act of self-mutilation. The background recalls the paleness of her face. The expressive features, both precise and tormented, reveal Van Gogh's mastery of his medium, enabling him to express the artist's deeply troubled state of mind with heartbreaking candour.
