The Story Behind the Painting

1886
Oil on canvas
Van Gogh Museum, Netherlands.

Vincent van Gogh painted Self-Portrait with Dark Felt Hat in 1886. The painting is one of van Gogh’s earliest self-portraits.

In the painting, van Gogh is dressed in street clothes: a voluminous cloak and a dark brown felt hat pulled low on his forehead. His piercing blue eyes are deeply shadowed beneath his furrowed brow and his bright, ginger-red beard is muted in the low light of the painting. This portrait, painted shortly after his arrival in Paris, features the restrained and earthy range of hues that typified his peasant subjects. Van Gogh presents himself in a phase of transition, wary but ready to face a new life.

The figurative subject is rebuilt stroke by stroke in oil, giving the finished canvas the depth expected of post-impressionist oil painting wall decor.

100% Hand Painted on Canvas

Trained artists work in stages — underpainting, mid-tones, highlights, and detail — using traditional oils on canvas. Because nothing is printed, every hand painted oil painting has its own subtle texture and depth.
