It is Sunday, so time to present a masterpiece from our partner, which is one of our favorite museums, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam! Enjoy! This painting was long thought to be a self-portrait of Vincent; another view, however, is that it shows his brother Theo. The brothers, naturally, bore a striking resemblance to one another. Unfortunately, there is no decisive evidence to determine who is actually portrayed, which is why the painting now has a double title. The portrait is unusually small and painted in considerable detail. Van Gogh was probably trying to compete with portrait photos. He had written some time earlier, “it’s a cause worth fighting for to show people that there’s something else in human beings besides what the photographer is able to get out of them with his machine.” (Source: #DailyArtApp) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cadrsskhb0pEhWwGjKaN-3mHl4WtfuYmGRH8r80/?utm_medium=tumblr -- source link
