*** About the Portrait of Armand Roulin in a Blue Coat: Painted in 1888 in Arles, this artwork stands as one of several portraits Van Gogh made of the Roulin family, whom he admired greatly. Armand Roulin, the son of the local postman Joseph Roulin, became one of Vincent’s fascinating subjects, featured in several of his works. The style of this portrait is quintessentially Post-Impressionistic, emphasizing emotional depth and the use of colors to convey Armand’s mood rather than the reality of his form. The bold, swirling brush strokes and the exaggerated color palette typify Van Gogh’s style during this period. The painting not only explores the relationship between the artist and the model but also reflects the socio-cultural environment of Arles. Currently, this artwork resides in the Kroller-Muller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands, drawing thousands of art lovers eager to glimpse into Van Gogh’s compelling portrait gallery.
