It is one of the great experiences of a lifetime to learn to understand Van Gogh and his interpretation of the art of oil painting. Each revelation teaches us more in our own ability to relate to expressions of human existence through tonality, and the movement of brush strokes. This is especially true if these strokes show a reality not easily recognized in day to day personal encounters. The lifting of the texture of paint floods our senses with the emotions almost too subtle to see in ordinary life.

In this work of art, Dr. Gachet is perhaps showing the furled concerns of a moment, the contemplation of an outcome not expected, and a dash of confusion mixed, perhaps, with the sadness of age. To be able to show such a complex mixture of emotions in such a simple scene is nothing but extraordinary genius. Purchase this hand painted original oil on canvas and capture this moment of diverse emotions forever.
