Parc de l’hôpital Saint-Paul

Parc de l’Hôpital Saint-Paul, painted in 1889 during Vincent van Gogh’s stay at the asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, offers a serene and contemplative view of the enclosed hospital garden. Shaded by tall trees and dappled with sunlight, the park is depicted with Van Gogh’s signature swirling brushwork and a harmonious palette of greens, yellows, and soft blues.

This tranquil corner of the asylum grounds served as a place of solace and reflection for the artist. Through his expressive handling of color and form, Van Gogh transforms the quiet garden into a space of emotional depth and natural beauty. Parc de l’Hôpital Saint-Paul stands as a gentle yet powerful testament to the healing presence of nature during a period of personal turmoil.
