Van Gogh Museum Reunites Roulin Family Portraits in New Exhibition
The Van Gogh Museum is presenting a special exhibition, 'Van Gogh and the Roulins. Together Again at Last', reuniting portraits of the Roulin family who were models for Vincent van Gogh in Arles. The show features 26 paintings, including works by Van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Rembrandt van Rijn, and Frans Hals. A highlight is an armchair from Vincent van Gogh's studio, used in a portrait of postal clerk Joseph Roulin, who was more than just a model to Van Gogh.
The exhibition showcases Vincent van Gogh's admiration for the Roulin family. Joseph Roulin, the postal worker who served as his model, became a friend and mentor to the artist. The show includes an armchair from Vincent van Gogh's studio in Arles, which was used in Roulin's portrait and is exhibited for the first time. The museum has recreated a life-size facade of the yellow house in Arles, where Vincent van Gogh's studio was located, providing context for the paintings.
Works by other masters are also on display, including Gauguin's 'The Yellow Christ', Rembrandt's 'Portrait of a Young Woman', and Frans Hals' 'Portrait of a Man'. These paintings complement Vincent van Gogh's works, highlighting the influence of the Roulin family on his painting.
The 'Van Gogh and the Roulins. Together Again at Last' exhibition brings together a remarkable collection of paintings, offering insights into Vincent van Gogh's relationships and artistic development. By reuniting these portraits and displaying the armchair from Vincent van Gogh's studio, the museum provides a unique perspective on the artist's time in Arles.
