Portrait of Père Tanguy replica in oil on canvas
Vincent Van Gogh was a revolutionary artist. His paintings are critically acclaimed all over the world and many of them are in the top 50 most expensive paintings ever sold.
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.
The father figure
Julien Tanguy was a well known personality amongst the artist community in Paris. A paint grinder by profession, Monsieur Tanguy was extremely warm, welcoming, and was an avid art enthusiast.
Pere Tanguy was considered to be a father figure by most artists as he had one of the most famous art supplies shops in Paris. This led to them giving him the nickname ‘Père’, which means ‘father’ in French.
Van Gogh and the Tanguys
Over the course of his stay with his brother Theo in
Paris, Van Gogh painted three portraits of Père Tanguy. The first one was a simple composition with sombre colours. The next two were more detailed and bore marks of influence from
Japanese block printing and Impressionist art.
The second one mainly showcased Van Gogh’s interest in Japanese woodblock painting, while the third was the most complex and drew inspiration from the Impressionists also.
This is the third painting in the series of Tanguy paintings and looks completely different from the first one. The wall behind Monsieur Tanguy is covered with Van Gogh’s Japanese prints which were sold in Tanguy’s shop.
