Dr. Paul Gachet 1890

"Dr. Paul Gachet" is a striking portrait created by Vincent van Gogh in 1890, shortly before his death. The painting depicts Dr. Paul Gachet, a homeopathic doctor who treated van Gogh during his final months in Auvers-sur-Oise. Gachet is portrayed with a melancholic expression, his hand resting on his chin, as if lost in thought. The intense brushstrokes and vibrant colors, characteristic of van Gogh's later style, contribute to the painting's emotional intensity, capturing the artist's personal struggles and the profound connection he shared with his doctor. The painting, now housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, is considered a powerful testament to the artist's genius and his enduring fascination with the human condition.
