Van Gogh Museum attributes a painting generally considered a self-portrait of Vincent van Gogh to actually be a portrayal of his brother, Theo. In Portrait of Theo van Gogh, the Van Gogh Museum says that the painting was made "to experiment with color, as we can see in the effect of the yellow hat against the blue background, and the range of colors in the jacket, bow-tie and background." Albert J. Lubin, author of "Stranger on the Earth: A Psychological Biography of Vincent van Gogh" claims that Van Gogh made no portraits of his brother, Theo.
