Painting Description
"Self Portrait with Halo and Snake" by Paul Gauguin is an 1889 painting by the French post-Impressionist artist, which exemplifies his departure from Impressionism and his embrace of Symbolism. The painting is notable for its use of color, stylized forms, and the symbolic content that Gauguin would become known for. In this self-portrait, Gauguin depicts himself with a halo, suggesting a sense of artistic sainthood or martyrdom, while the inclusion of a snake is often interpreted as a symbol of temptation or evil, reflecting the artist's personal struggles and the duality of human nature.
The painting is executed in oil on wood and measures approximately 79 cm × 51 cm (31 in × 20 in). It is part of the collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This self-portrait is considered one of Gauguin's most important works, as it provides insight into his psyche and his self-image as an artist during a pivotal period in his career.
Gauguin's "Self Portrait with Halo and Snake" is characterized by its bold use of color and simplified forms, which would influence the development of Primitivism and pave the way for future avant-garde movements. The work's introspective and symbolic nature is a testament to Gauguin's innovative approach to portraiture and his desire to express the inner world of the subject rather than just their physical likeness.
