Van Gogh's Self-Portrait (ゴッホの自画像, Gohho no Jigazō) is a tertiary character featured in the sixth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stone Ocean.
He is a painting by Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh that was manifested by Bohemian Rhapsody.
Appearance
Van Gogh is a middle-aged man of average height. He has a beard and short-length light hair with a widow's peak. His outfit consists of a dark fur cap, semi-dark overcoat, light pants, boots, and a bandage covering his ear and extending under his chin. He is also shown with a pipe in his mouth and holds a razor in his hand. His appearance is likely based on the Van Gogh painting, "Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear and Pipe."

History
After being manifested by Bohemian Rhapsody, the self-portrait of Van Gogh asks Weather Report for directions to Saint Rémy's. Upon realizing that Weather knows him, he asks Weather if he is correct. Weather tells Van Gogh that he doesn't know him and how he isn't from this town, apologizing that he can't help. Van Gogh corrects him by noting he has admired his work before, revealing himself as a portrait of Vincent van Gogh and how he cut his ear off with a razor last night, as Weather's soul separates from his body.[1]
Van Gogh explains that the real Van Gogh was the kind of painter whose soul slowly wasted away as he continued painting. He states the real Van Gogh barely sold any of his paintings while alive and quizzes Weather about how many self-portraits the real Vincent van Gogh had made, Weather responds aggressively taking Van Gogh's razor. The razor quickly morphs into a brush. Van Gogh tells Weather the answer to his question and explains that in order for the real Van Gogh to see into his own soul, he left that many portraits of himself.[2]
Further mentioning that Van Gogh cut off his ear and ended his own life by shooting himself with a pistol. Van Gogh goes on to explain that since Weather is now a self-portrait of Vincent van Gogh he will continue to cut off his own ear and shoot himself twice, the second killing him. Suddenly Weather's ear fell off and the paint brush shot a bullet into Weather's head, morphing into a gun. After the first shot, Weather releases his Stand to try and take out the user.[2]
Weather warns Van Gogh to not shoot him with the gun, Van Gogh goes on to say he would never go near it to protect his own life. However Anasui knocks Weather into the gun, which fires immediately into Weather's Head. Van Gogh states he will happily live in Weather's place, however Weather threatens Van Gogh's life in exchange to make Weather a drawing. He makes Van Gogh draw him the hero, "Put Back", to bring back the characters that Bohemian Rhapsody brought to life. Thus, the Stand is defeated and Van Vogh is returned to his painting.[3]

Quotes
Quotes- “Excuse me... Is this the right way to Saint Rémy?”
- “It's not that... You like me, correct? Your face says it all. You were touched by my work. My name is Van Gogh.”
- “I'm a portrait of him after he cut off his ear... But Van Gogh was the type of painter whose soul slowly wasted away as he painted. Van Gogh barely sold any of his paintings while he was alive, but are you aware of how many self-portraits he painted through his life? A: 0-5, or B: 40-45. Which is it, A or B? Hey, how many portraits do you think? A or B? Final answer?”
- “The answer is B, 40-45. In order for him to see into his own soul, Van Gogh left that many portraits of himself... And then he cut off his ear, and at the age of 37... He ended his own life by shooting himself with a pistol.”
- “Me? Of course not! I wouldn't touch it... I'm another "Portrait of Van Gogh"... It would be bad if I accidentally felt inclined to shoot myself... But you're the one that already shot himself in the head, once... You brought it upon yourself...”
- “It's over. Just like how it should be. I'll live happily in your stead.”

Trivia
- The way Van Gogh describes certain aspects of the real Van Gogh is historically inaccurate. The portait states to Weather that Van Gogh painted 40 to 45 self portraits, he cut off his ear, and he ended his life by shooting himself twice in the head.
- It is estimated that he painted between 35 to 40 self-portraits.
- It is unclear whether Van Gogh cut his entire ear off due to conflicting accounts. Some describe that he only cut his earlobe off, he cut off the lobe and a little more of his bottom ear, or severed the entire outer ear.[4]
- Van Gogh died two days after a single gunshot wound to the stomach. His death is commonly associated as an attempted suicide but some evidence suggests it was rather an accidental murder.
