Summary

[edit]
Description

Vincent van Gogh Dutch (worked in France), 1853-1890

Detail from: Postman Joseph Roulin, 1888

Oil on canvas

Van Gogh left Paris for Arles, a small town in southern France, in February 1888. One of the closest friends, and favorite sitters he found there was the local postman, Joseph Roulin, with whose fiery left wing politics the painter sympathized. While painting this portrait, Van Gogh wrote his bother, “I am now a work with another model, a postman in a blue uniform trimmed with gold, a big bearded face, very like Socrates…A more interesting man than many people.”

Gift of Robert Treat Paine, 2nd, 1935 35.1982
