[edit] Arles 1888-1889[edit] Vieux Arlésienne[edit] Le Zouave[edit] The Mudlark[edit] La Mousmé[edit] Le Facteur: Joseph RoulinWhile Van Gogh was living in Arles, Joseph Roulin was working at the railway station, both places close to their lodgings: Roulin and his family in a dead-end street, and Van Gogh just around the corner, at 2 Place Lamartine - and both frequented the Café run by the Ginoux couple, some footsteps further; there Van Gogh had lodged, before he moved to the Yellow House.

[edit] Vieux Paysan: Patience EscalierThere are two versions of this portrait. [edit] The Poet: Eugène BochEugène Boch (1855 – 1941) was a Belgian painter, born in Saint-Vaast, Hainaut, and the younger brother of Anna Boch, a founding member of Les XX. Born into a wealthy dynasty of manufacturers of fine china and ceramics, still active today under the firm of Villeroy & Boch, Eugène Boch enrolled in the private atelier of Léon Bonnat in Paris, in 1879. Since 1882, when Bonnat closed his atelier, he studied at the atelier of Fernand Cormon. Paintings of him where admitted to the Salon in 1882, 1883 and 1885. In June 1888, he was introduced by Dodge MacKnight to Vincent van Gogh. The portrait was executed in the first days of September 1888, few days before Boch's departure. In the first version of Van Gogh's Bedroom, executed in October 1888, this portrait is shown hanging to the left of the portrait of Paul-Eugène Milliet. Arranged this way, both portraits may have formed part of the Décoration for the Yellow House. When Eugène Boch died in 1936, he bequested The Poet - that is Van Gogh's title for his portrait of Eugène Boch, which Boch received from Johanna van Gogh-Bonger in accordance to the last will of Vincent and Theo - to the Louvre. [edit] The Lover: Paul-Eugène MillietPaul-Eugène Milliet was a 2nd Lieutenant at the 3rd Zouave Regiment which had quarters at the Caserne Calvin located on Boulevard des Lices in Arles. Vincent van Gogh gave him drawings lessons, and in revanche Milliet took a roll of paintings by Van Gogh to Paris, when in mid August he was passing the French capital on his way to the North, where Milliet spent his holidays. On his return to Arles, end September 1888, Milliet handed over a batch of Ukiyo-e woodcuts and other prints selected by Vincent's brother Theo from their collection, - and in the days to follow Vincent executed this portrait of Milliet. In the first version of Van Gogh's Bedroom, executed in October 1888, Milliet's portrait is shown hanging to the right of the portrait of Eugène Boch Decades later, when Milliet had retired to the 7th arrondissement in Paris, his memories of Van Gogh were recorded by Pierre Weiller, at this time living on lease in a building owned by Milliet, and published in 1955, after Milliet's death.[1]
[edit] La Mère: Anna Cornelia van GoghIn September 1888 Van Gogh - answering to a letter of his sister Wil who had told him of a recent photograph of their mother - asked for a print.[2] About a week later he received it, but - "troubled by the black" - sat down to paint a copy based on this likeness:[3] [edit] The Roulin FamilyMain article: The Roulin Family [edit] The Ginoux FamilyMain article: L'Arlésienne (painting) Marie Ginoux, born Jullian (or Julien) in Arles (June 8, 1848 - August 2, 1911), and her husband Joseph (1835-1906) married February 2, 1866, and ran the Café de la Gare, at 30 Place Lamartine. [edit] Doctor ReyAccording to Doiteau & Leroy, one day Van Gogh wanted to present a painting he had just finished to Dr Rey. But he refused and offered the painting to the pharmacist of the hospital just passing by, a Mr Rousseau. He, too, refused and so the next passer-by, the administrator of the hospital, was offered the painting - and he, a certain Mr Neuvière, is said to have accepted.[4] [edit] Saint-Rémy-en-Provence 1889[edit] The Trabuc Family[edit] Auvers-sur-Oise[edit] The Gachet Family
[edit] Adeline Ravoux and other children from AuversPortrait of Adeline Ravoux was painted by Dutch post-impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh in 1890. The twelve-year-old Adeline Ravoux was the daughter of Arthur-Gustave Ravoux, whose inn is where Van Gogh lodged in Auvers-sur-Oise. She later wrote a memoir of Van Gogh's stay with them. She witnessed Van Gogh's return to the inn after the fatal incident where he shot himself: "Vincent walked bent, holding his stomach, again exaggerating his habit of holding one shoulder higher than the other. Mother asked him: " M. Vincent, we were anxious, we are happy to see you to return; have you had a problem?" He replied in a suffering voice: "No, but I have…" he did not finish, crossed the hall, took the staircase and climbed to his bedroom. I was witness to this scene. Vincent made on us such a strange impression that Father got up and went to the staircase to see if he could hear anything."[5] [edit] Resources[edit] Notes
