Vincent van Gogh
Prisoners Exercising
From $100
This ward is lilac whites and greens with a red brick floor, and a dull copy turns the whites grey. Our Van Gogh ward in the hospital in Arles print was graded beside the original so the whites stay light and the red floor stays warm.
Canvas, framed or paper
Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.
Framed canvas. The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.
Framed print. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.
Fine art print. Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.
Sizes
20x16 inch, 30x24 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
On your wall
Its landscape shape suits a study, a hallway or a quiet room. The pale whites, greens and brick red look calm with white, sage and walnut, and a dark wood frame suits it.
About the painting
Ward in the Hospital in Arles by Vincent van Gogh
Arles, April 1889
In April 1889 Vincent van Gogh was still living in the hospital in Arles. “In all I’ve had 4 big crises,” he told his sister, “in which I hadn’t the slightest idea of what I said, wanted, did.” He had decided to go into the asylum at Saint-Rémy.
A very long ward
“I’m working though,” he wrote, “and have just done two paintings of the hospital. One is a ward, a very long ward with the rows of beds with white curtains where a few figures of patients are moving.”
Very, very simple
“The walls, the ceiling with the large beams, everything is white in a lilac white or green white,” he wrote, with a red brick floor and a door with a crucifix at the far end. “It’s very, very simple.” It belongs to the Oskar Reinhart Collection in Winterthur.
Read the story
Vincent van Gogh painted the hospital ward where he had been a patient for months.
It's April 1889, in Arles. Since the crisis in December, he has been in and out of this hospital.
In all I've had four big crises, he writes to his sister Willemien, in which I hadn't the slightest idea of what I said, wanted, did.
He has decided to go into an asylum at Saint-Rémy, not far away.
But before he leaves, he paints the place he's been living in.
I've just done two paintings of the hospital, he writes. One is a ward, a very long ward, with the rows of beds with white curtains, where a few figures of patients are moving.
The walls, the ceiling with the large beams, everything is white, he says, a lilac white or a green white. The floor is tiled with red bricks, and at the far end there's a door with a crucifix above it.
In front, a few patients sit around a black stove.
It's very, very simple, he writes.
Today the painting belongs to the Oskar Reinhart Collection in Winterthur, in Switzerland.
Look down that long white ward, and see the quiet room he was about to leave.
Ward in the Hospital in Arles. Vincent van Gogh, 1889.

Questions
Is this the original painting?
No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.
Will the colour look flat?
This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.
Will the edges be cropped?
Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.
Which size is right for my wall?
Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.
How long does it take?
Your piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.
What if it arrives damaged?
Send us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Our returns policy has the details.
