Espace Van Gogh Easel

In December 1888, shortly after his famous ear-cutting incident (see Café at Night easel, described later), Vincent was admitted into the local hospital—today’s Espace Van Gogh cultural center (the Espace is free, but only the courtyard is open to the public). It surrounds a flowery courtyard that the artist loved and painted when he was being treated for blood loss, hallucinations, and severe depression that left him bedridden for a month. The citizens of Arles circulated a petition demanding that the mad Dutchman be kept under medical supervision. Félix Rey, Vincent’s kind doctor, worked out a compromise: The artist could leave during the day so that he could continue painting, but he had to sleep at the hospital at night. Look through the postcards sold in the courtyard and find a painting of Vincent’s ward showing nuns attending to patients in a gray hall (Ward of Arles Hospital).
