SELF-PORTRAIT WITHOUT BEARD | VINCENT VAN GOGH italian-renaissance Completed in 1642Even though Van Gogh painted many portraits of himself, this one is by far the most famous as it is his last self portrait and one of the few that depicts him without a beard. It was given by him to his mother as a birthday gift. It is also one of the most expensive paintings of all times, as it was sold for $71. 5 million in 1998, and is now part of a private collection.
