Corridoio dell'ospedale

September 1889
Not on view
Questa veduta inquietante di un corridoio che si perde nelle profondità dell’ospedale psichiatrico di Saint-Rémy, in Francia, con una piccola figura maschile che a metà strada svolta verso una porta, è la descrizione più possente lasciataci da Van Gogh dell’istituto nel quale trascorse un anno, dal maggio 1889 al maggio 1890, poco prima di morire. Il pittore inviò questo disegno, insolitamente grande e dai colori vivaci, al fratello Theo, per dargli un’idea dell’ ambiente in cui viveva. I colori acidi dai toni brillanti, applicati con un tratteggio audace, creano un eco vibrante, mentre la prospettiva che va fortemente assottigliandosi trasmette un senso di oppressione che incombe sulla figura.
