Analysis Of Van Gogh s The Postman Joseph Roulin

Dear friend Dolcy, I am visiting the city of Arles located in the southwestern France. The city is prominent for the masterpiece â€Å"The Postman Joseph Roulin† painted by Van Gogh in the early August of 1888. Van Gogh painting has influenced the contemporarily art in the twenty century. In addition, the artist was a Post-Impressionist, with the ability to seize the intensity of emotion and the beauty in his artwork. I really appreciate Van Gogh portraits. Due to that, I want to discover the city of â€Å"The postman Joseph Roulin† which seduced the artist feelings. There is always a mystery behind each masterpiece in which only the artist detains the secret and the best explanation. However, according to my perception, Van Gogh displayed a portrait of a fervent postman to immortalize the only man who was close to him regardless how others seen him due to his mental disorder. I spent about one thousand and nine hundred seventy dollars for my thicket and I paid five hu ndred and ninety five dollar for my hotel â€Å"Hotel De L’ Amphitheatre† located on Route des Baux, 13990 Fontvieille, Arles, France where I will stay for seven days. The city of Arles is located in the southern of France in Europe. The famous city has an area of 758 kilometer square and is connected in the Bouches du Rhone department. Te town culture display multiple Mediterranean influences such as the Roman Empire and Greek. Arles city is well known by his dishes such as Fougasse d Arles, Gardienne de Boeuf,
