Beschreibung
A powerful 1889 interpretation of a religious subject, painted by Vincent van Gogh during his time in Saint-Rémy.
Painted in 1889 during his stay at the asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, this work is a direct interpretation of a lithograph by Eugène Delacroix. Van Gogh produced this piece while he was unable to work from nature, turning instead to the prints of artists he admired. The composition depicts the Virgin Mary cradling the body of Christ, a traditional subject in Western art history.
Van Gogh departs from the original lithograph through his application of colour and brushwork. He employs a palette dominated by yellows, greens, and deep blues, which creates a sense of emotional urgency. The lines are heavy and directional, following the contours of the figures and the surrounding environment. This technique gives the surface a tactile quality, typical of his late period. The figures appear somewhat flattened against the background, which is rendered with swirling, agitated strokes that suggest a turbulent atmosphere.
Unlike his earlier works, which often focused on the rural life of peasants or the light of the south, this painting engages with the tradition of religious iconography. Van Gogh does not attempt a faithful reproduction of Delacroix. Instead, he translates the scene into his own visual language. The facial features of the figures, particularly the expressive eyes of the Virgin, reflect his personal style of portraiture. The work demonstrates his ability to reinterpret historical subjects through a modern lens, prioritising subjective experience over academic precision. The print captures the texture of the original oil paint, allowing for a close examination of the artist's mark-making process.

Pieta (After Delacroix) - Vincent van Gogh
Artist Biography
Vincent Van Gogh
He taught himself to draw by copying prints and working through textbooks. His brother Theo, an art dealer in Paris, sent money every month for the rest of Vincent's life. Without Theo there are no paintings. The letters between them, over 600, are one of the most complete records of any artist's thinking. Van Gogh wrote about colour theory, composition, what he ate, what he read, how much he spent on paint. He was articulate and well-read and not, despite the popular version, simply mad.
He moved to Paris in 1886 and encountered Impressionism. The palette changed immediately: from the dark browns of his Dutch period to the colours people actually associate with his work. He met Gauguin, Pissarro, Signac, Toulouse-Lautrec. He absorbed Pointillism and Japanese prints. Then he moved to Arles in the south of France, where the light was better and people were fewer.
The Arles period produced Sunflowers, The Bedroom, Starry Night Over the Rhone. The breakdown followed: the argument with Gauguin, the severed ear (he cut part of his left ear, not the whole thing), the asylum at Saint-Remy, and then Auvers-sur-Oise, where he painted seventy canvases in seventy days before dying from a gunshot wound at thirty-seven. He sold one painting during his lifetime, or possibly two. Theo died six months later.
