Portrait of Joseph Roulin by Vincent van Gogh

Created in 1889

Van Gogh’s Portrait of Joseph Roulin is one of the most vibrant and expressive portraits from his time in Arles. Joseph Roulin, the local postman and a close friend of the artist, sits confidently in his bright blue uniform surrounded by a lush, decorative floral background. His flowing beard, painted in swirling strokes of gold and ochre, becomes a centerpiece of the composition- alive with movement and personality. This reproduction captures the intensity of Van Gogh’s color palette and the distinctive rhythmic brushwork that defines the original painting, offering a striking focal point for any interior.
