Bedroom in Arles

Painted yellow room

Bedroom in Arles is a series of three paintings by Vincent van Gogh depicting his bedroom in the Yellow House in Arles, France, where he lived in 1888.

The composition shows a simple room with a bed, chairs, and pictures on the wall, rendered in bold colors with flattened perspective.

Van Gogh intended the paintings to convey rest and tranquility: The Bedroom in Arles hangs in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
