Showing 1–16 of 147 results

Vincent van Gogh believed the modern portrait, painted in bold colour, was the art of the future. This collection gathers his portraits, the postman Roulin and his family, L’Arlésienne, the Zouave, the peasants of Provence and more.

Van Gogh’s portraits, painted in bold colour

Van Gogh wanted his portraits to catch the very soul of the sitter through strong, ringing colour rather than mere likeness. In Arles he painted the postman Joseph Roulin and his whole family with real affection, the fiery old peasant Patience Escalier, the brilliantly uniformed Zouave, and L’Arlésienne, Madame Ginoux. Each is a bold, unforgettable presence, set against a saturated coloured ground.

This collection brings together his most striking portraits, each available as a hand-painted oil reproduction whose firm brushwork and strong colour keep the presence of the sitter.
