Portrait Of An Old Man replica in oil on canvas
Van Gogh Studio is located in Amsterdam, near the Van Gogh museum where we can study the original works. Our paintings are all painted in oil on canvas by mainly Dutch artists who have studied Van Gogh's technique, including brushstrokes, color mixing, atmosphere and the rhythm of painting.
A Time Before Colour
During his stay in
Nuenen and
Antwerp, Van Gogh produced paintings and drawings with muted colours. He took great care to study
peasants and their daily way of life, so that he could reproduce their images on canvas.
Therefore, his paintings mostly consisted of dark earthy colours and muted palettes. After he moved to Antwerp, he began studying colour theory, particularly the work of Peter Paul Rubens.
This broadened his usage of colours from the usual browns to include a variety of other colours, such as carmine, cobalt blue, and emerald green. This helped him produce later pieces such as the
Sunflower series, which he became so famous for.
With Craft And Passion
During his stay in Antwerp, Van Gogh was struggling to feed himself, since he spent most of the money that his brother sent him for painting materials. In order to gain some extra money, he offered to paint
portraits for anyone willing to sit for them.
The portrait of an old man with beard was described as a “wonderful old man”. Although his identity is not known, this was one of the works that Van Gogh created so that he could earn some extra money for food. This painting is one the last works where Van Gogh kept his muted style before he adopted something a more colourful.
