EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Vincent van Gogh's masterpiece, "La Berceuse" from 1889. Painted with oil on canvas, this artwork measures 92.7x73.7 cm and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, USA. The painting depicts a woman gently rocking a cradle, embodying the essence of motherhood and maternal love. The subject of the portrait is Augustine-Alix Pellicot Roulin, wife of Arles postmaster Joseph Etienne Roulin. Van Gogh's use of vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes exemplifies his unique style within the realm of post-impressionism. With this piece, van Gogh captures not only the tender bond between mother and child but also evokes a sense of tranquility through its portrayal of lullaby-like moments. The artist masterfully portrays both the innocence and vulnerability present in infancy while celebrating the strength and devotion found within motherhood. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of Provence in Arles, France, "La Berceuse" transports viewers to an idyllic scene where time seems to stand still. This print serves as a timeless reminder that art has the power to immortalize fleeting moments filled with love and tenderness.
