Painting Description
"Madame Roulin Rocking the Cradle (La Berceuse)" is a series of five paintings by Dutch Post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh. Painted during the winter of 1888–1889 in Arles, France, the series depicts Augustine Roulin, the wife of postman Joseph Roulin, one of Van Gogh's closest friends during his time in Arles. The title "La Berceuse" translates to "The Lullaby" or "The Woman Rocking the Cradle," and in these works, Madame Roulin is portrayed in a vibrant and expressive manner, which is characteristic of Van Gogh's style during this period.
Each version of "La Berceuse" shows Augustine Roulin seated in a chair, holding the ropes of a cradle, although the cradle itself is not visible in the paintings. The portraits are notable for their bold use of color and the intense gaze of the subject, which Van Gogh intended to evoke a sense of comfort and solace, akin to the soothing effect of a lullaby. The background of each painting features a patterned wallpaper that contributes to the rhythmic and harmonious quality of the composition.
Van Gogh created multiple versions of the portrait with variations in color and detail, reflecting his experimentation with color theory and his interest in creating a series of works around a single theme. The series is a testament to Van Gogh's admiration for the Roulin family, who supported him during his time in Arles, and his ongoing exploration of the emotional and symbolic potential of portraiture.
The "La Berceuse" series holds a significant place in Van Gogh's oeuvre and is considered among his most important works from his Arles period. The paintings are housed in various museums around the world, allowing for a comparison of the different approaches Van Gogh took to the same subject. The series exemplifies Van Gogh's innovative use of color and form, and his ability to infuse his subjects with psychological depth and resonance.
