The Entrance Hall of Saint-Paul Hospital 1889

"The Entrance Hall of Saint-Paul Hospital" (1889) by Vincent van Gogh depicts the interior of a hospital in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where the artist was voluntarily admitted in 1889 for treatment. The work features a perspective from the entryway, looking towards a set of open double doors that lead to an exterior courtyard. The painting is notable for its characteristic use of bold colors and dynamic brushstrokes, which van Gogh employed throughout his career, even in his later years when his mental state worsened. The scene is a testament to van Gogh's fascination with both the natural world and the built environment, which he captured with a unique and expressive approach. The work now resides in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
