Vincent Van Gogh Bedroom In Arles
1888 Fine Art Painting
Bedroom in Arles (French: La Chambre a Arles; Dutch: Slaapkamer te Arles) is the title given to each of three similar paintings by 19th-century Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh.
Van Gogh’s own title for this composition was simply The Bedroom (French: La Chambre a coucher). There are three authentic versions described in his letters, easily discernible from one another by the pictures on the wall to the right.
The painting depicts Van Gogh’s bedroom at 2, Place Lamartine in Arles, Bouches-du-Rhone, France, known as his Yellow House. The door to the right was opening to the upper floor and the staircase; the door to the left served the guest room he held prepared for Gauguin. The window in the front wall was looking to Place Lamartine and its public gardens.

Vincent Van Gogh Portrait Of Dr. Gachet With Pipe

Vincent Van Gogh Portrait Of Dr. Gachet With Pipe
1890 work on paper
Van Gogh, introduced to etching by Gachet, made the etching Portrait of Doctor Gachet in 1890. Gachet and Van Gogh discussed creating a series of southern France themes but that never happened. This was the one and only etching, also known as L’homme la pipe (Man with a pipe), that Van Gogh ever made. Van Gogh’s brother, Theo, who received an impression of the etching, called it “a true painter’s etching. No refinement in the execution, but a drawing on metal.” It is a different pose than that in Van Gogh’s Portrait of Dr. Gachet, owned by Musee d’Orsay.

Vincent Van Gogh Portrait Of Dr. Gachet
1890 Fine Art Painting
Portrait of Dr. Gachet is one of the most revered paintings by the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh. There are two authenticated versions of the portrait, both painted in June 1890 at Auvers-sur-Oise. Both show Gachet sitting at a table and leaning his head on his right arm but they are easily differentiated in color and style. In 1990, the first version fetched a record price of $82.5 million ($75 million, plus a 10 percent buyer’s commission) when sold at auction in New York. When accounting for inflation, this is still the highest price paid for art at a public auction.
Van Gogh painted Gachet resting his right elbow on a red table, head in hand. Two yellow books as well as the purple medicinal herb foxglove are displayed on the table. The foxglove in the painting is a plant from which digitalis is extracted for the treatment of certain heart complaints, perhaps an attribute of Gachet as a physician.
