From 1886 to 1888, Vincent van Gogh lived together with his brother Theo in Paris, which gave him the chance to study impressionist paintings. It was there that he banished the dark phase inspired by the Dutch school from his paintings once and for all. Unlike his initial ascetic stay in Montmartre, he became acquainted with Paris´s bustling Bohemian community. Though Van Gogh managed to acquire all materials he needed to paint, models were hard to come by leading him to begin a period of self-portraits, of which he created nearly 30.
