"Portrait of Pere Tanguy" is a series of three paintings by the Dutch post-impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh, created between 1887 and 1888. The subject of these portraits, Julien François Tanguy, was a paint grinder and seller who provided support to Van Gogh and other artists by supplying them with materials and, in some cases, by buying their work. Tanguy's shop in Montmartre, Paris, was more than just a place of business; it was a hub for the artistic community, where artists could meet, exchange ideas, and exhibit their work. Van Gogh's portraits of Tanguy are significant for their expressive use of color and innovative compositional techniques, which were hallmarks of Van Gogh's art during his Paris period.

The most famous of these portraits, painted in 1887, shows Pere Tanguy seated against a background of Japanese Ukiyo-e prints. This background choice reflects Van Gogh's admiration for Japanese art, which significantly influenced his style. The use of bright, contrasting colors and the attention to detail in Tanguy's face and clothing highlight Van Gogh's ability to capture the character of his subject while also experimenting with new artistic techniques. This portrait is not only a personal tribute to a friend and supporter but also an example of Van Gogh's ongoing exploration of color and form.

The "Portrait of Pere Tanguy" series exemplifies the intersection of personal relationships and artistic innovation in Van Gogh's work. Through these paintings, Van Gogh not only immortalized an individual who played a crucial role in his artistic development but also contributed to the broader narrative of post-impressionism and its departure from traditional portraiture. Today, these portraits are celebrated for their historical significance and artistic merit, offering insight into the vibrant artistic community of late 19th-century Paris and the evolution of Van Gogh's artistic style.
