A Portraiture for Joseph Roulin

During his time in France, Van Gogh became good friends with Joseph Roulin, a postman in the town of Arles. During his stay, Van Gogh made a number of portraits of Joseph and his family.

In essence with his own style, he avoided trying for a photographic recreation, and focused on creating vivid colours and aesthetic brush strokes to create his own style.

His ultimate aim was to evoke unique emotions with his viewers so that it wouldn’t be conceived as just another ordinary portrait.

Through his stay at Arles, he captured the entire Roulin family through similar styles, multiple times. To him, the entire family were people who helped him through his struggle to continue his work as an artist. This was his method of thanks and appreciation during a time when he felt emotionally alone.
