Bedroom in Arles
From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia
Bedroom in Arles (French:
La Chambre à Arles; Dutch: Slaapkamer te Arles) is the title given to each of
three similar paintings by 19th-century Dutch Post-Impressionist painter
Vincent van Gogh.
Van Gogh's own title for
this composition was simply The Bedroom (French: La Chambre à coucher). There
are three authentic versions described in his letters, easily discernible from
one another by the pictures on the wall to the right.
The painting depicts Van
Gogh's bedroom at 2, Place Lamartine in Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, France, known
as his Yellow House. The door to the right was opening to the upper floor and
the staircase; the door to the left served the guest room he held prepared for
Gauguin. The window in the front wall was looking to Place Lamartine and its
public gardens. This room was not rectangular but trapezoid with an obtuse
angle in the left hand corner of the front wall and an acute angle at the
right. Van Gogh evidently did not spend much time on this problem, he simply
indicated that there was a corner, somehow.
