Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear.
1889
Oil on canvas, 60 x 49 cm;
Courtauld Institute Galleries, London.
In February 1888 van Gogh settled at Arles, where he painted more than 200 canvases in 15 months.
During this time he sold no pictures, was in poverty, and suffered recurrent nervous crisis with
hallucinations and depression. He became enthusiastic for the idea of founding an artists' co-operative at
Arles and towards the end of the year he was joined by Gauguin. But as a result of a quarrel between them van
Gogh suffered the crisis in which occured the famous incident when he cut off his left ear (or part of it), an
event commemorated in his Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear (Courtauld Institute, London).
