What is a self-portrait? How do artists reveal their identity through self-portraiture?

The myth of Van Gogh today is linked as much to his extraordinary life as it is to his paintings. This workshop will allow both aspects to be explored.

Experiment with Vincent van Gogh’s sophisticated mark-making in his famous Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear (1889), one of the most famous works in The Courtauld’s collection, and create your own self-portrait.
