Hôpital Saint-Paul à Saint-Rémy-de-Provence
Vincent van Gogh
Van Gogh painted the grounds of the hospital in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence where he was living at the time, choosing to focus on a tall pine tree and the surrounding garden rather than the building itself.
Why it matters
Van Gogh painted the grounds of the hospital in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence where he was living at the time, choosing to focus on a tall pine tree and the surrounding garden rather than the building itself.
Look closer
Notice how the pine's dark, twisting branches dominate the composition — Van Gogh often turned to trees and plants in the hospital garden as subjects during this period, painting the same grounds again and again.
This is one of a series of views Van Gogh painted of the hospital grounds, which were nearly the only outdoor scenery available to him during this period.
