*** About Portrait of Dr. Gachet: Made in the summer of 1890, during Van Gogh’s time in Auvers-sur-Oise, Portrait of Dr. Gachet captures more than just the likeness of the artist’s physician—it vividly encapsulates the themes of melancholy and mental anguish, reflecting Van Gogh's own state of mind. Dr. Gachet was known for treating artists suffering from depression and was a keen amateur artist himself, which perhaps deepened the connection between him and Van Gogh. This painting is particularly significant as it is one of the few portraits Van Gogh produced during his stay at Auvers that captures such personal and in-depth insight into his subject. After changing hands several times, the painting was sold at auction in 1990 for a record price and is currently held in a private collection.
