Original Description
Van Gogh’s La Berceuse (Portrait of Madame Roulin), painted in 1888–1889, radiates an extraordinary warmth and serenity. The subject, Augustine Roulin—wife of Van Gogh’s close friend, the postman Joseph Roulin—is depicted seated against a vibrantly patterned floral background, her gentle gaze and folded hands exuding maternal calm. The title, meaning The Lullaby or The Cradle Rocker, suggests her role as a comforting presence, possibly imagined singing to soothe a child. Van Gogh’s bold, swirling brushstrokes and vivid, non-naturalistic colors epitomize his Post-Impressionist style, blending emotional depth with decorative intensity. This painting is part of his ambitious series exploring portraiture as a vehicle for universal human connection, reflecting his belief that art could offer solace. Though less famous than Starry Night, it remains a poignant example of Van Gogh’s ability to transform ordinary subjects into transcendent, emotionally charged icons.
For a striking yet harmonious display, consider hanging La Berceuse in a space that balances its expressive energy. A cozy reading nook or a softly lit bedroom would amplify its calming aura, while a modern office could benefit from its psychological warmth. Pair it with rustic wooden furniture or earthy textiles to complement Van Gogh’s organic brushwork, or contrast it with clean-lined, minimalist decor for dramatic effect. The painting’s rich oranges, greens, and blues invite accents in similar hues—think terracotta vases, ochre throw pillows, or navy upholstery. A medium to large frame (the original is 92 × 73 cm) ensures visibility without overwhelming; opt for a simple gilt or natural wood frame to honor its 19th-century roots. Position it at eye level as a focal point, allowing its emotional resonance to animate the room.
