Vincent,
A Portrait
by the Postman Roulin
A one-person presentation of Vincent van Gogh's personal and artistic journey as seen through the eyes of his good friend, postman Joseph Roulin of Arles, France.

During Vincent van Gogh's short stay in Arles in the south of France, his artistic passion soared.  His paintings exploded in colors.  At this time Vincent  made friends with Joseph Roulin, the local postman.  To Vincent, Roulin was a "good soul" and "Socratic type."  Vincent eventually painted a total of twenty pictures of the Roulin family.

In Arles, van Gogh also knew days of despair and self inflicted pain.  Roulin stood by his friend.  One of Vincent's portraits of the Postman Roulin is in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
