Create your own Van Gogh self-portrait with our new painting game "Paint 'n' play": nga.gov/games/paint-n-play

Get to know Vincent van Gogh before you “makeup” your mind about his art.

Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch painter who worked diligently to perfect his craft.

Over his decade long career, Vincent van Gogh created with astonishing intensity and originality.

He created more than 35 self-portraits in a period of just over 3 moths, meaning he produced almost one a month.

He painted his 1889 “Self-Portrait” in one sitting and felt the work captured his “true character.”

View Vincent van Gogh’s “Self-Portrait” in person at our West Building or through our online collection: nga.gov/collection/art-object-page.106382.html
