Date: c. 1877

Medium: Pastel on canvas

Collection: Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States

Description

Eva Gonzalès’s subjects were most often women engaged in activities such as reading, knitting, or filling a vase with flowers. This pastel of a milliner, or hat-maker, shows the figure handling the trimmings that will eventually be used to decorate a hat. Millinery was a popular subject for the Impressionists, given their interest in fashion and scenes from modern life.

Van Gogh's Bedroom in Arles

Artist: Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853-1890)

Date: 1889 (Replica executed in September 1889 in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence of the painting executed in Arles in October 1888 and kept at the Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh in Amsterdam.)

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Musée d'Orsay, Paris, France

Description

On the theme of his bedroom, Van Gogh created three nearly identical paintings. The first, now in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, was executed in October 1888 and damaged in a flood during the painter's hospitalization in Arles. About a year later, he undertook to make two copies: one, of the same dimensions, is now in the Art Institute of Chicago; the other, in the Musée d'Orsay, painted for his family in the Netherlands, is smaller.
