Con le parole del museo — in russo
Оверский период Ван Гога начинался с надежды на новую жизнь и выздоровление, о чем свидетельствуют пейзажи с домами, написанные сразу же по приезде в Овер в мае 1890 года. Но уже в июне, когда мотив дома по-прежнему в центре внимания художника и когда было написано настоящее полотно, эмоциональная гамма его картин расширяется - от мрачных предчувствий до умиротворения. И поскольку эмоции выражались не сюжетом, не описательно, а самими живописными средствами, построение его композиций, сохраняя внутренний динамизм, всякий раз менялось. В "Белом доме" господствует застылость, и главные линии здесь - горизонтали и вертикали. Художнику хочется верить в спасительность крова, но кров может обернуться и клеткой. Художник уделяет здесь особенное внимание окнам - "глазам" дома. В настоящей картине именно эти "глаза", а не три темных персонажа делают дом более живым. Красные пятна окон справа звучат драматическими нотами затаенного страха. Ночную звезду над домом - знак судьбы - Ван Гог писал в моменты наивысшего и опасного душевного напряжения.

Nel frattempo, nella vita di Vincent van Gogh
Tutta la vita1888
To Arles, dreaming of a “Studio of the South”
The public still neither accepted nor bought his paintings, and in February 1888 Van Gogh left for Arles in the south of France to found a “Studio of the South”, a brotherhood of like-minded artists in which he gave Gauguin the leading role. Theo backed the plan with money.
23 October 1888
Gauguin arrives in Arles
After much pleading Gauguin arrived in Arles, and in November the two painted together: Gauguin portrayed Van Gogh in “The Painter of Sunflowers”, and their first joint outing was to the Alyscamps. At Gauguin's suggestion Vincent painted from memory, producing “Memory of the Garden at Etten”.
23 December 1888
The severed ear
After an altercation on the evening of 23 December, Van Gogh, seemingly hearing voices, severed his left ear, wholly or in part, with a razor and delivered it, wrapped in paper, to a woman at a brothel. Next morning a policeman found him unconscious; in hospital he was diagnosed with “acute mania with generalised delirium”.
1889
Voluntarily into the Saint-Paul asylum
Van Gogh left Arles and voluntarily entered the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum, a former monastery in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, accompanied by the Protestant clergyman Frédéric Salles. Of his two cells with barred windows one became a studio, and the clinic and its garden became the main subjects of his paintings.

A fatal wound: a revolver shot
Out painting, Van Gogh shot himself in the chest with a revolver he had bought to scare off birds while working outdoors; the bullet passed below his heart, and he made his own way back to his room at the inn. Theo arrived the next day and stayed with him to the end; according to Theo, Vincent's last words were: “The sadness will last forever.”
