The Yellow House by Vincent Van Gogh Photo Print

When Van Gogh first got to Arles (France) he rented a part of the house with green shutters in his "Yellow House" painting. His apartment consisted of studio space and a kitchen on the ground floor and two small bedrooms upstairs, one for himself and the other for his visiting friend, Paul Gauguin. The two primary colours in the painting, yellow and blue, would become hallmarks of Van Gogh's work during the time he spent at Arles. The juxtaposition of these colours makes each appear more vibrant, a phenomenon the artist would also explore in many of his other Arles artworks. The house itself was destroyed by bombing in World War II, but a commemorative plaque marks the spot of Van Gogh's erstwhile studio and living quarters on the Place Lamartine.
