The artwork entitled “Window of Vincent’s Studio at the Asylum” was created by Vincent van Gogh in 1889 in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France. Executed with oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Post-Impressionism movement and falls within the genre of interior painting.
The artwork portrays a window that offers a glimpse of the outside world, as seen from within an interior space, presumably the room of the artist at the asylum. The window, framed by bold strokes and rich colors, allows daylight to subtly illuminate the interior. On the window sill, various objects are arranged, including bottles and a cylindrical container, which add a sense of lived reality to the scene. The walls around the window exhibit a warm and textured pattern, with other indistinct forms and shapes suggesting the presence of additional furnishings or decorations. Van Gogh’s characteristic brushwork and vivid palette capture the atmospheric effect of light and shadow, providing the viewer with an intimate look into his personal space during a tumultuous period of his life.
