EDITORS COMMENTS
Head of a Woman, 1885 Artist: Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) Description: This portrait, titled "Head of a Woman," was painted by the renowned Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh in 1885. Van Gogh, a pioneer of Post-Impressionism, is celebrated for his bold, expressive brushwork and vivid color palette. This painting is a prime example of his distinctive style. The subject of the portrait is not definitively identified, but it is believed to depict either Sien Hoornik, a local prostitute, or Margot Begemann, a neighbor and friend of Van Gogh's in Arles, France. Regardless of her identity, the woman in the painting is rendered with a raw, emotional intensity that is characteristic of Van Gogh's work. The painting is an oil on canvas work, measuring approximately 21.5 x 18.5 centimeters. It is currently housed in the esteemed Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, which holds the largest collection of Van Gogh's works in the world. Van Gogh's "Head of a Woman" is a poignant and powerful representation of the human form, showcasing the artist's mastery of color and texture. The swirling, impasto brushstrokes create a sense of depth and movement, while the bold, contrasting hues evoke a range of emotions. The painting invites the viewer to contemplate the complexities of the human experience, and serves as a testament to Van Gogh's enduring influence on the art world.
