February 1888. Vincent Van Gogh stepped off the train in Arles leaving the distractions of Paris for a quieter life in southern France. At thirty-four, he had lived in over thirty places in twenty-one cities and four countries – none that he could call his own. He would find ‘home’ in The Yellow House, shared for a brief time with Paul Gauguin. On the eve of Gauguin’s arrival in October, Van Gogh painted his empty bedroom, a symbol of hope and stability that the newly optimistic artist was finally achieving. A year later, Van Gogh had painted two copies of The Bedroom. He was in an asylum for the insane in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence; his life, and the meaning of that empty room, had changed dramatically.
