Vincent van Gogh The Gardener Print

The artist's fascination with working-class subjects reflected his deep empathy for ordinary people—a theme that runs throughout his entire body of work. 🖼️

Painted during van Gogh's stay at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy between April 1889 and May 1890, The Gardener emerged from what the artist described as a "terribly intense" desire to create portraits. This captivating wall art showcases van Gogh's remarkable ability to capture both character and emotion in a single, powerful composition.

The subject, believed to be one of the asylum's day-labourers who tended the hospital grounds, gazes out with quiet dignity beneath his broad-brimmed hat. Van Gogh's masterful use of complementary colours creates a harmonious balance: earthy olive and ochre flesh tones dance against vibrant greens, reds, and blues, while the subject's striped shirt adds rhythmic visual interest.

What makes this painting extraordinary is van Gogh's distinctive brushwork technique. Short, directional strokes build up the planes of the face with delicate precision, while the clothing and hat are rendered with freer, more expressive handling. This combination creates an immediate intimacy that draws viewers into the subject's world, a hallmark of van Gogh's asylum period portraits.
