EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Vincent van Gogh's masterpiece, "Joseph-Etienne Roulin" painted in 1889. The oil on canvas artwork measures 66x54.8 cm and is currently housed at The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. In this post-impressionist portrait, van Gogh skillfully captures the essence of Joseph-Etienne Roulin, a postman stationed at the Arles railroad station. With his distinctive floral wallpaper design as a backdrop, Roulin's moustache and beard add character to his frontal pose. The painting beautifully portrays Roulin's role as an entreposeur des postes (post office storekeeper), highlighting the importance of postal services during that era. Van Gogh's brushstrokes bring out the depth and emotion in Roulin's expression, making it a remarkable representation of male portraiture. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to late 19th-century France when van Gogh was exploring new artistic techniques and pushing boundaries with his unique style. This particular piece exemplifies his ability to capture not only physical features but also the inner soul of his subjects. With its vibrant colors and expressive composition, "Joseph-Etienne Roulin" remains an iconic work within van Gogh's oeuvre. It serves as a testament to his mastery as an artist and continues to inspire art enthusiasts worldwide with its timeless beauty.
