Self Portrait With Bandaged Ear

Representative Hand-applied gesso embellishment
About the Artwork
Painted in Arles during January 1889, just weeks after the infamous ear-cutting incident on December 23, 1888, this self-portrait represents one of van Gogh's most psychologically charged works from his most productive yet turbulent period. The inclusion of the Japanese woodblock print reflects his deep admiration for ukiyo-e aesthetics, which profoundly influenced his approach to color and composition during his southern France years. Van Gogh created this unflinching self-examination while recovering from his breakdown, transforming personal trauma into artistic triumph; the painting's direct confrontation with physical and mental suffering established it as a cornerstone of modern psychological portraiture and remains one of the most recognized self-portraits in Western art.
