The Story
This beautiful exhibition poster from the The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston brings together 5 captivating Van Gogh portraits of the Roulin family.
Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) once wrote, “What I’m most passionate about…(is) the modern portrait.” This passion flourished between 1888 and ’89 when the artist created a number of portraits of a neighbouring family- postman Joseph Roulin; his wife, Augustine; and their three children Armand, Camille, and Marcelle. Van Gogh’s tender relationship with the postman and his family, and his extraordinary portrayals of them, are testament to the deep bonds of friendship between the artist and this family.
