The Dutch artist known as Vincent Van Gogh painted the Bedroom in Arles in 1889. The painting is of Van Gogh's own bedroom, where he had eventually died after attempting to commit suicide. He is thought to have painted it to show his sadness and even reflect his suicide in 1890.
In Don Mclean's tribute song known as 'Vincent', the lyrics points out the work of art as the following: “Now I understand what you tried to say to me, how you suffered for your sanity.” The bedroom does not show the calming nature usually found in bedrooms, but instead implies unrest from the horizontal lines. The painting in nature seems like an average bedroom, with a bed, pictures on the walls, windows and all the other mundane articles that
