Showing 49–96 of 116 works.

Painted from inside the asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole and from the walled garden and fields he was allowed into. The subjects narrow — cypresses, olive groves, irises, the view from the window — and the brushwork tightens into the coiling stroke that most people picture when they picture him. The Starry Night belongs to this year.
