Bedroom in Arles by Vincent van Gogh

The Bedroom in Arles is the title given to the series of three similar paintings by the Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh. However, the painter's title for this series was a shorter and simpler one — The Bedroom.

As the name suggests, the painting depicts a specific room — van Gogh's bedroom at 2 Place Lamartine in Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, France (known as the Yellow House). Van Gogh rented four rooms here in 1888.

The Bedroom in Arles is known for its vibrant colors and uncommon perspective. However, research shows that the strongly contrasting colors we see in the painting today result from discoloration over the years. The rules of perspective are not accurately applied throughout the picture, but this was a deliberate effort by van Gogh (he wanted them to resemble a Japanese print).

All authentic versions of Bedroom in Arles are described in van Gogh's letters. They are easily distinguishable from one another by the pictures on the wall to the right.
