Framed Bedroom in Arles by Vincent van Gogh

Bedroom in Arles by Vincent van Gogh depicts the artist’s simple bedroom in the “Yellow House” in Arles, France, rendered in bold colors and skewed perspective that make the scene feel both calm and slightly dreamlike. The neatly arranged furniture—a wooden bed, chairs, small table with toiletries, and paintings on the wall—reflects van Gogh’s desire for order and personal sanctuary during a turbulent period of his life. The vibrant contrasts, like the red bedspread against the cool blue walls and greenish floor, show his intention to evoke emotion rather than realism. Though empty of people, the room feels intensely personal, almost like a self-portrait expressed through objects and space rather than a figure.
