Madame Roulin Rocking the Cradle (La berceuse)

Vincent van Gogh

Painted
1889
Collection
Art Institute of Chicago
Medium
Oil on canvas

Augustine Roulin, wife of the Arles postman, holds the cord of a cradle; van Gogh painted the subject five times. He imagined it hanging in a ship's cabin so sailors would think of the lullabies of their childhood. Green dress, red floor and flowered wallpaper meet as strong fields of colour, so each piece clearly belongs somewhere.
