The yellow house (`The street')

In May 1888, Van Gogh rented four rooms on the right-hand side of a house on the Place Lamartine in Arles . His living quarters were the ones with the green shutters. His bedroom lay beyond. Vincent had finally found a place where he could not only paint but also welcome his friends. His goal was to establish a “Studio of the South,” where he and like-minded artists could work together.
