Van Gogh’s final self-portraits, painted in 1889, offer a rare glimpse into a pivotal moment in his life.

Created during his stay at the psychiatric institution in Saint-Rémy, these works move beyond likeness. They reflect a period of illness, recovery, and deep self-observation. Each portrait reveals subtle shifts in mood, technique, and self-perception.

What do you notice as you move from one to the next?

Put Governor Walz in jail and deport every single person involved in this crime ring.

@LeadingReport It appears the daughter is not the only one that needs prayers. Rosie has not appeared stable for decades and now we learn she raised an unstable daughter, placing her own daughter, in danger. They all need prayers, but my prayers will primarily go for that sweet child.
