A Brief Look at Van Gogh & The Roulin Family
Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) had a deep passion for portraiture, which truly flourished during his time in Arles, France (1888–89). There, he befriended postman Joseph Roulin, whose entire family became the subjects of some of Van Gogh’s most beloved paintings. Through these portraits, Van Gogh captured the warmth, resilience, and character of the Roulins while experimenting with bold colors and expressive brushstrokes. The Van Gogh: The Roulin Family Portraits exhibition features approximately 20 works, including the MFA’s own Postman Joseph Roulin (1888) and Lullaby: Madame Augustine Roulin Rocking a Cradle (La Berceuse) (1889), alongside significant loans from institutions like the Van Gogh Museum, MoMA, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
