About the piece

Painted in 1890 during the final months of his life, Vincent van Gogh’s portrait of Dr. Paul Gachet is a definitive example of Post-Impressionist emotion. The work utilizes swirling, rhythmic brushstrokes and a bold contrast between the deep blue of the sitter's coat and the warm, vibrant tones of the foreground to convey a sense of 'the heartbroken expression of our time.'
