La Berceuse - Portrait of Madame Roulin - Posters
199 Rs
Vincent van Gogh (1853-90) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter whose work had a far-reaching influence on 20th-century art. In just over a decade, he produced more than 2,100 artworks but received little recognition during his lifetime.
Van Gogh was unsuccessful during his lifetime and was considered a madman and a failure. He became famous after his suicide, and exists in the public imagination as the quintessential misunderstood and tortured genius artist.

About La Berceuse Portrait of Madame Roulin
This is a portrait of Madame Roulin, the wife of the postman in Arles, with whom Van Gogh was friends. She is holding a cord; with which she can rock a cradle that we cannot see. In this painting, van Gogh wanted to summon up a lullaby and thereby evoke the idea of comfort. (See letter to Theo van Gogh, 28 January 1889). This is not so much the portrait of an individual as a symbolic depiction of Motherhood.About the Posters
