Vincent rented the Yellow House in Arles (FR), with a view over a small local park. It was right by what he casually called the ‘street of the good little ladies’ (yes, that’s a brothel reference).
Even though the park itself wasn’t anything special, he saw something in it – and painted it.
🎨 On 11 October 1888, Vincent wrote to his brother Theo: ‘I’ve done a new no. 30 canvas, and I plan to start another one this evening when they light the gas. The one I’ve just done is another garden.’
He was writing about these two paintings:

2 ‘The Public Garden with a Couple Strolling ('The Poet's Garden')’, 1888 © Private collection
