"The Poet: Portrait of Eugène Boch" is a compelling artwork by the Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh. Created in September 1888, this portrait is a significant piece within van Gogh's oeuvre, showcasing his unique style and the depth of his artistic exploration during his time in Arles, France. The painting features Eugène Boch, a Belgian painter and friend of van Gogh, depicted against a starry, night sky background that hints at the thematic elements van Gogh would later fully realize in his famous "Starry Night."

Van Gogh's intention with this portrait was not merely to capture Boch's likeness but to represent him as a visionary or 'the poet'—an embodiment of artistic and poetic ideals. The use of vibrant colors, bold brushstrokes, and the dreamlike background all contribute to the painting's symbolic representation of the artist as a figure of intellectual and spiritual pursuit. Van Gogh described Boch in a letter to his brother Theo as having a face that he wanted to paint because it was "full of spirit and future life."

Measuring 60 x 45 cm, the painting is executed on canvas using oil paints. It is currently housed in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, having been bequeathed to the French State by Eugène Boch's sister, Anna Boch. The artwork stands as a testament to van Gogh's innovative approach to portraiture, his profound appreciation for fellow artists, and his constant quest to capture the essence of his subjects beyond their physical appearances. "The Poet: Portrait of Eugène Boch" remains a significant piece for study and admiration, reflecting van Gogh's deep connection to the artistic and existential inquiries of his time.
