"The Prison Exercise Yard" (Dutch: "De binnenplaats van de gevangenis") is an oil painting by the Dutch post-impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh. Completed in October 1890, during the final months of Van Gogh's life, the painting is a somber depiction of isolation and confinement, themes that resonate with the artist's own feelings of despair and entrapment. The work is based on an engraving by Gustave Doré that Van Gogh had seen, which illustrates the exercise yard at Newgate Prison in London.

Measuring 80 cm x 64 cm, "The Prison Exercise Yard" is executed in Van Gogh's distinctive style, characterized by bold, expressive brushstrokes and a vivid color palette. The painting portrays a group of inmates walking in a circle within the high walls of a prison yard, their repetitive movement suggesting the monotony and hopelessness of prison life. The high walls and watchful guard emphasize the oppressive atmosphere and the lack of freedom experienced by the prisoners.

Van Gogh's interest in the subject matter reflects his empathy for the downtrodden and his own psychological struggles. The painting is often interpreted as a metaphor for the artist's mental state and his feelings of being trapped by his mental illness. The stark, enclosed space of the yard contrasts with the open skies and nature that feature in many of Van Gogh's other works, highlighting the absence of freedom and the artist's yearning for it.

"The Prison Exercise Yard" is held in the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, Russia. It remains a poignant example of Van Gogh's ability to convey deep emotion and psychological intensity through his art, and it continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
