Portrait of Dr. Gachet with a Digitalis Plant in Hand - by Van Gogh
Image ID: 29368
Stirring a mix of melancholy and contemplation, Vincent van Gogh's "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" captures the empathetic essence of the artist's late life physician, bearing an expression rich in weary introspection. The weary eyes of Dr. Gachet reflect a soul deeply acquainted with the tribulations of mental anguish—a poignant mirror to Van Gogh’s own struggles. Created in 1890 during Van Gogh's time in Auvers-sur-Oise, this portrait embodies an enigmatic blend of companionship and somber isolation. The use of vibrant blues and yellows contrast starkly against the calming greens, symbolizing the turbulent emotions lurking beneath the surface of professional restraint. The digitalis plant, subtly included in the scene, hints at Dr. Gachet’s medical background and perhaps, metaphorically, the treatment of heart and mind. *** About the Portrait of Dr. Gachet:
