Final Jeopardy Answer for April 22
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on April 22, 2025 is “What is a bandaged ear?”
The famous “January 1889 self-portrait” here is Vincent Van Gogh’s “Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear.” It was painted just a week after he left the hospital after he mutilated his own ear. In contrast, some of the attendees of the 2024 RNC bandaged their ears in support of Donald Trump who had his ear bandaged after it was grazed in an assassination attempt. As a result, ear bandages became a fashion trend during the convention.
