Toscano 39x48 self portrait w/ bandaged ear 1889 nr, DA4584

This item is non-returnable unless damaged.

Haunting pain is evident in every brushstroke of this self-portrait rendered after recovering from cutting off his own earlobe following an argument with fellow painter and idol Paul Gauguin. Said to be an icon of what it is to live the life of art, this pivotal work by the Dutch artist echoes an emptiness in its fierce strokes and rough rhythms. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand exclusively for Design Toscano. Our replica 4.375" wide, European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding. Grande: 44.25"Wx53.25"H framed (36"Wx45"H image size, 4.375"W frame), 12 lbs.
