Ritratto di Armand Roulin
1888
Vincent van Gogh found his favorite muses in the Roulin family because he couldn't afford to pay professional models. This portrait features Armand, the postman's teenage son, staring off with a moody, introspective look against a bold, flat green background. Painted in Arles in 1888, the thick, visible brushstrokes and dark clothing contrast sharply with the vibrant backdrop, showcasing Van Gogh's signature Post-Impressionist style that prioritized emotional impact over realistic detail.
