About this painting
Portrait of the Postman Joseph Roulin 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.Best friends in Arles
Joseph Roulin, a postmaster at a railway station, was stationed at Arles, where he and Vincent Van Gogh developed a beautiful friendship. Van Gogh frequently visited the station to send his stunning paintings to his beloved brother Theo in the Netherlands, and it was during these visits that he encountered the affable Roulin.A remarkable human being
Van Gogh admired Roulin's character, and in a letter to Theo, he passionately described him as an individual who is not bitter or melancholic, not perfect or happy, and not always entirely truthful, but nonetheless a remarkable human being. According to Van Gogh, Roulin was a fantastic person who possessed both wisdom and empathy and was always faithful to those he cared about.You may also like to read:

I started reading Van Gogh Studio's blogs on VG a while ago. That made me fall in love with VG as a person. Vincent was such a special person. I am so glad to know of his friendship with the Postman at the railway station in Arles. That's why VG's portrait of his friend is my favorite. So happy with the replica!
My wife is ecstatic to receive the beautiful painting ‘Portrait Of The Postman Joseph Roulin’. She says this is the best anniversary gift ever because Roulin reminds her so much of her beloved father who has passed away last year! Thank you Erik for this flawless artwork and making my day! (I scored some serious points today!)
Erik:
I want to confirm my receipt of the painting today.
Very well done.
Once we exit the this self quarantine period, I can’t wait to have the painting framed and hung above the fireplace.
We’ll send a photo.
Until then stay safe and healthy.
regards,
Jeff
