The postman Joseph Roulin and his family were among Vincent van Gogh’s dearest friends and favourite sitters in Arles. This collection gathers his warm, affectionate portraits of the whole Roulin family.
Van Gogh’s portraits of the Roulin family
In Arles in 1888-89 Van Gogh painted the bearded postman Joseph Roulin, whom he called a great republican and a true friend; his wife Augustine, whom he painted rocking a cradle as La Berceuse, an image of consolation; and their children Armand, Camille and the baby Marcelle. Painted in bold, ringing colour and real affection, they form one of the warmest portrait series in all of art.
This collection brings together the Roulin family portraits, each available as a hand-painted oil reproduction whose strong colour keeps the warmth of the original.
Hand-painted oil reproductions, made to order
Every piece in this collection is available as a hand-painted oil reproduction, brushed onto artist-grade cotton canvas by a senior studio painter, never printed and never machine-made, or as a smooth archival fine-art print at a lower price. Choose your size and orientation, then finish it rolled, stretched on a wooden frame, or in a thin or thick frame. Each canvas is made to order, quality-inspected by hand, and shipped free worldwide with a certificate of authenticity and a 30-day return guarantee.
