"Dr. Paul Gachet" is an oil painting created in 1890 by the Dutch post-impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh. It is one of the most revered portraits by Van Gogh, depicting Dr. Paul Gachet, who took care of the artist during the final months of his life. The painting is notable for its emotive intensity and the use of Van Gogh's distinctive swirling brushstrokes and bold color palette.

Dr. Gachet was a homeopathic doctor and an amateur painter who had a keen interest in the arts. He was known for treating several prominent artists of the time. Van Gogh, suffering from depression and mental illness, moved to Auvers-sur-Oise on the advice of his brother Theo, to be under the care of Dr. Gachet. Van Gogh found a kindred spirit in Gachet, describing him as "sicker than I am, I think, or shall we say just as much."

The portrait is a complex depiction of Gachet, who is shown with a melancholic expression, resting his head on his hand. The use of blue tones around his face and the red of his beard create a striking contrast, while the inclusion of foxgloves in the foreground—a plant used in the treatment of heart disease—may allude to the doctor's profession or perhaps to Van Gogh's own state of mind.

"Dr. Paul Gachet" is often interpreted as a reflection of Van Gogh's psychological state, as well as his respect for the doctor as a fellow artist and intellectual. The painting is one of two portraits Van Gogh made of Dr. Gachet, the other being a more formal version with the doctor holding a book. The artwork has been subject to various interpretations and has been discussed extensively in art historical literature for its emotional depth and its representation of the artist's state of mind.

The painting is held in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and continues to be a subject of admiration and study for its artistic and historical significance. It stands as a poignant testament to Van Gogh's troubled life and his ability to convey deep emotional resonance through his work.
