Original Description
Vincent van Gogh's Portrait of the Postman Joseph Roulin II (1888) radiates with the artist's signature emotional intensity and vibrant brushwork. Painted during his prolific Arles period, this striking portrait captures Roulin—Van Gogh's close friend and loyal postman—with bold, swirling strokes and electrifying contrasts of cobalt blue and sunflower yellow. The subject's thick beard and uniform are rendered in rhythmic, almost sculptural brushstrokes, while his calm yet penetrating gaze reflects Van Gogh's deep admiration for working-class resilience. As part of a series of six Roulin portraits, this work exemplifies the artist's Post-Impressionist innovation: flattening forms, exaggerating colors, and infusing psychological depth into portraiture. Today, it stands among Van Gogh’s most celebrated character studies, bridging 19th-century realism and modern expressionism.
Displaying this masterpiece demands thoughtful staging to honor its dynamic energy. Opt for a minimalist space—clean white walls or warm taupe backdrops—to let its electric blues and yellows dominate. A wide wooden frame with gilded accents would echo Van Gogh’s love for textured finishes. Given its original size (25.2 x 21.3 inches), consider a prominent placement above a mid-century desk or a leather Chesterfield sofa, balanced with modern brass lighting to harmonize rustic and industrial tones. For color cohesion, introduce sunflower-hued cushions or cerulean ceramics nearby. In offices, pair it with framed handwritten letters or vintage postboxes to playful nod at Roulin’s profession, creating a dialogue between art and function.
