Galerie Mont Portrait of Doctor Gachet – Vincent Van Gogh^ Van Gogh

In Portrait of Doctor Gachet, Vincent Van Gogh, a major figure of Post-Impressionism, offers us a singular introspection of the human soul. Presented in 1890, this painting draws on the portrait genre to depict the melancholy Doctor Gachet, an ally and friend to Van Gogh during his tumultuous life.

The artist has captured the essence of the doctor with an almost brutal acuity, featuring the main character in the foreground, slumped against a table cluttered with books. His pensive gaze, with a hand resting on his cheek, evokes a profound sadness. The gradation of blues in the background, in contrast to the Doctor’s pale skin, symbolises his isolation and solitude. Van Gogh’s expressive style shines through, bringing each brushstroke to life to reveal the true nature of his subject.
