Van Gogh's dozens of self-portraits were an important part of his oeuvre as a painter. Most probably, van Gogh's self-portraits are depicting the face as it appeared in the mirror he used to reproduce his face, i.e. his right side in the image is in reality the left side of his face #vangogh #vincentvangoghlove #vincentvangogh
Vincent van Gogh, Wheatfield with Crows, 1890, Oil on canvas, 50.2 cm × 103 cm (19.9 in × 40.6 in). Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.
It depicts a dramatic, cloudy sky filled with crows over a wheat field. A sense of isolation is heightened by a central path leading nowhere and by the uncertain direction of flight of the crows. It is commonly stated that this was van Gogh's final painting.
The Arlésienne
Saint-Rémy, January–February 1890. In France in the last year of his life, Van Gogh made five portraits of his friend Marie Ginoux. She ran the train station café in Arles. On the table are French translations of two books he loved: Charles Dickens’s Christmas Books, and American author Harriet Beecher Stowe’s anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin.

Small Pear Tree in Blosson 1888. The gnarled trunk and branches of this small pear tree stand out against the light background. Van Gogh was captivated by the flowering fruit trees in Provence, so he made a whole series of paintings of trees in blossom.
Van Gogh was a great admirer of Japanese printmaking and drew inspiration from it. Japanese artists often took spring blossoms as their subject. But Van Gogh adopted more than just their subject matter. The composition of his painting also shows a Japanese influence, with the small tree in the foreground and the high viewpoint.

Garden of the Hospital in Arles 1889
Van Gogh made a drawing of the courtyard of the hospital in June 1889. The vantage point for the painting was his room within the hospital. Van Gogh's description and his painting of the garden allow for identification of its flowers, such as: blue bearded irises, forget-me-nots, oleander, pansies, primroses, and poppies. The original design of the courtyard as described by Van Gogh has been preserved. Radiating segments are surrounded by a "plante bande" now filled with irises. A difference between the painting and the garden is that van Gogh increased the size of the central fish garden for better composition. Adept at using color to convey mood, the shades of blue and gold in the painting seem to suggest melancholy. The yellow, orange, red and green in the painting are not vivid shades seen in other work from Arles, such as Bedroom in Arles #ateternitysgate #lovingvincent #vincentvangoghlove #vangogh #arte #art #france #arles #vangoghmuseum
