About the piece
Painted in 1887 during his formative Paris period, this portrait of the artist's brother, Theo van Gogh, is a masterclass in Post-Impressionist technique. Vincent utilizes multidirectional, vibrant brushstrokes to create a sense of movement and psychological depth, while the complementary pairing of the yellow hat and blue coat creates a luminous, high-energy presence that exemplifies his revolutionary approach to color.
