The story of Self-Portrait with the Yellow Christ

Gauguin painted this canvas (38 by 46 cm) in Pont-Aven just before leaving for Tahiti, placing himself between his own Yellow Christ (1889) and a ceramic self-portrait. The painting belonged to Daniel de Monfreid, passed to Ambroise Vollard's gallery by 1902 and to Maurice Denis in 1903, and was bought by the French state in 1994.

Paul Gauguin

Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin was a French painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramist, and writer, whose work has been primarily associated with the Post-Impressionist and Symbolist movements. He was also an influential practitioner of wood engraving and woodcuts as art forms. While only moderately successful during his lifetime, Gauguin has since been recognized for his experimental use of color and Synthetist style that were distinct from Impressionism.
