Self-Portrait at the Easel by Vincent van Gogh Art PrintIn 1886, this would have felt radical. It still does. A young Van Gogh stares out from the shadows in dark green and warm brown, palette and easel just catching the light. The room around it slows down. Walls in deep green, off white or warm plaster carry it best, and lamplight in the evening brings the face forward without flattening the shadows. Hang it at eye level above a writing desk, a sideboard or a reading chair, where you can actually look at

loud and decorative rather than quiet and woodland

linen and terracotta pots

and the upward gaze pulls the eye higher than the frame

mirrored finishes and ultra-modern photography will fight it

deep green and sky blue

Don't crowd it with other busy patterns or another statement piece on the same wall

busy ones get a place to rest the eye

The flat cap and tartan jacket do the heavy lifting — there is character on the wall instead of just colour

Warm browns in the jacket pick up timber and leather

The greens are deep

It's funny without being cartoonish

The colour wakes the room without shouting
