Corridor in the Asylum
Author:
Vincent van Gogh
Year:
1889
Corridor in the Asylum, depicts the interior of the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, where the artist admitted himself during a period of mental distress. The asylum, a former monastery, provided van Gogh with a sanctuary for recovery and artistic creation. In this artwork, he captures the elongated, arched corridor with rhythmic repetition, using expressive brushstrokes and a muted color palette to convey the isolation and introspection of his time there.
