梵高人物肖像画《男老年头像》

作品简介 / INTRODUCTION

　　Van Gogh painted this man in Antwerp (BE), where he lived from late November 1885 to late February 1886. He has impressive features, asVan Gogh wroteto his brother Theo: 'I have an appointment for tomorrow with a splendid old man — will he come?

　　梵高在安特卫普画了这个人，他从1885年11月下旬到1886年2月下旬住在那里。他有令人印象深刻的特点，因为梵高写道对他的兄弟西奥说:“我明天和一位杰出的老人有个约会——他会来吗?

　　Van Gogh had a hard time finding suitable models. Besides, models were expensive. But this man did show up to pose for him. Van Gogh thought that the man's full beard made him look like the author Victor Hugo. Using rough but well-placed brushstrokes, he made a compelling portrait.

　　梵高很难找到合适的模特。此外，模特很贵。但这个人确实出现了，为他摆了个姿势。梵高认为这个男人的大胡子让他看起来像作家维克多·雨果。他用粗糙但恰到好处的笔触画出了一幅引人注目的肖像。
