Vincent’s Bedroom In Arles replica in oil on canvas
Van Gogh Studio is located in Amsterdam, near the Van Gogh museum where we can study the original works. Our paintings are all painted in oil on canvas by mainly Dutch artists who have studied Van Gogh's technique, including brushstrokes, color mixing, atmosphere and the rhythm of painting.
A Contrast Of Colours
Van Gogh invested heavily in colour when working on this painting. Instead of reproducing an image with photographic quality, he devoted his efforts into imagining each aspect and element of the painting to have a different colour scheme, so that each one would complement the other.
To him, it was important that the painting evoke the right emotions with the viewer, so that they could find their own interpretation. One notable point of this painting was that all of the items depicted were in pairs, such as two pillows and chairs.
This was because, at the time, Van Gogh had a close friend stay over.
Bedroom Painted For A Friend
Originally, this painting was intended as a gift to
Paul Gauguin who was then staying with him in
Arles. After he completed the initial sketches, he wrote to his brother Theo about the work, detailing his obsession for colours, while leaving the shapes as simple as possible.
