Van Gogh-Hospital Park Poster

Vincent van Gogh painted *Hospital Park* in October 1889, while he was staying at the Saint-Paul psychiatric hospital in Saint-Rémy. The hospital’s wild and overgrown garden had become one of his most important places of work on days when he was unable to go outside; here, he repeatedly painted the trees, the falling leaves, and the changing seasons. In this painting, the purplish trunks, twisting branches, and yellow-red autumn leaves create the feeling of a mental landscape rather than a real garden. For Van Gogh, painting during this period was not merely an art form; it was a fundamental activity that provided order and a sense of stability to his daily life amid the severe episodes of his illness.
