A postman, his family, and a chair: Van Gogh museum’s surprising reunion exhibition
The exhibition features 14 portraits and Van Gogh's studio armchair, highlighting 26 paintings made during a key creative period, curator said.
- On Friday the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam opens Van Gogh and the Roulins, reuniting portraits of postman Joseph Roulin, his wife and their children, running through Jan. 11.
- Vincent van Gogh painted 26 portraits of the Roulin family from July 1888 to April 1889 while seeking connection in Arles, France.
- Curators collected works from museums worldwide and found the armchair from Van Gogh's Arles studio in the Van Gogh Museum's storerooms, exhibiting it for the first time after tracing its passage.
- The museum is showing 14 portraits alongside works by Paul Gauguin, Rembrandt van Rijn and Frans Hals, with curator Nienke Bakker calling the pairing with the chair moving and important.
- After a Boston run, the Amsterdam exhibition follows the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston lending a key portrait, while curators say the Arles period marked a turning point in Van Gogh's art.
