Van Gogh At The Orsay Museum In Paris, France Editorial Photo

Painting by Vincent Van Gogh at the Orsay Museum in Paris, France. The museum is housed in the former Gare d'Orsay a railway station built between 1898 and 1900. Van Gogh produced three, almost identical paintings on the theme of his bedroom. The first, in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, was executed in October 1888, and damaged during a flood that occurred while the painter was in hospital in Arles. Almost a year later, Van Gogh made two copies of it: one, the same size, is now in the Art Institute in Chicago the other, in the Musée d'Orsay, produced for his family in Holland, is smaller.
