Vincent van Gogh replica oil paintings for sale
While the original masterpieces by Van Gogh hang in
museums, you can take them home by opting for oil reproductions that are affordable and easy to find.
The Portrait of the Postman Joseph Roulin was the part of Roulin family portraits that Van Gogh did in
Arles. Though Van Gogh loved creating
portraits, he had a hard time finding models because he was always short on cash.
But as his friendship with Joseph Roulin developed in Arles, Van Gogh didn’t just create Joseph’s portrait, but his entire family’s portrait as well. Just like all the other portraits created by Van Gogh, this one too isn’t an exact replica. Instead, he has used colours and themes to evoke the desired emotions from the audience.
Between 1888 and 1889, Vincent did portraits of the entire Roulin family, including Joseph’s wife Augustine, and his kids Armand, Camille, and Marcelle. The other paintings in this series include Portrait of Madame Augustine Roulin, La Berceuse, and Portrait of Armand Roulin.
