Van Gogh Self Portrait 30x40 I took this picture on

I took this picture on a trip to a farm near Jansenville in the Groot Karoo

My son (4) thinks his beloved cypresses look like fire

Later on he rented a studio and became friends with influential artists like Anton van Wouw

This beauty was painted by an unknown American artist in the 19th Century

Since then

Van Gogh Self Portrait 30x40 I took this picture onThis self portrait of Van Gogh is titled: Self portrait with Grey Felt Hat and was painted 1887. It is one of 35 self portraits he painted in his life. Apart from the self portraits he painted, there is only 1 known photograph of him which survived. He didn't paint this many self portraits because he was vain, it was more out of necessity. The majority of them over 25 were painted while he was in Paris (188688). He was short of money in that period
