Van Gogh, Vincent - Portrait of Joseph Roulin Fine Art Print

A Museum Quality Antique Reproduction Print of Portrait of Joseph Roulin, the Mailman by Vincent Van Gogh painted in 1888. The original size of this oil on canvas is 25 3/8 by 21 3/4 and now hangs in the Museum of Modern Art, which acquired this Van Gogh masterpiece with the proceeds from the sales of seven other works of art. Joseph Roulin worked for the post office in the French town of Arles, having a high position job of sorting the mail at the train station. Van Gogh and Roulin lived on the same street in Arles and became close friends. Van Gogh painted over 20 portraits of Joseph and the Roulin family. Van Gogh wrote his brother, Theo about his excitement over this modern portrait, a picture that renders character not by the imitation of the sitter's appearance but through the independent, vivid life of color. Completed by the artist in 1888, two years prior to his suicide. We also have the companion print to this artwork, the Portrait of Madame Roulin available in both fine art print and poster style.
