The Van Gogh museum is bringing a scattered family back together this fall to honor a postal worker, his wife and their children who sat as models for the Dutch master at at time when he was struggling to make friends in a French town.
Portraits of the expansively bearded postman Joseph Roulin, his wife, two sons and baby daughter have been brought together for an exhibition titled “Van Gogh and the Roulins. Together Again at Last." The show collects paintings of the family from museums around the world and even features an armchair from the artist's studio in Arles in the southern region of Provence.
