Bedroom in Arles
Vincent van Gogh1888Oil on canvas
Van Gogh painted his bedroom three times, each version celebrating the simple peace of his personal space. The tilted perspective and flat, shadowless colors were intentional — inspired by Japanese woodblock prints.
Color Mood
Deceptively simple and warmly domestic. The flat blue walls and ochre floor create a sanctuary — Van Gogh painting rest itself. The palette is the most straightforwardly joyful in his entire career.
