Prisoners Exercising - Vincent Van Gogh
Excellent
L'œuvre en bref
Vincent Van Gogh's Prisoners Exercising is a work that depicts the prison world. Using a palette of dark colours and a series of repetitive curved lines, the painting is part of the Post-Impressionist movement.
The painting's composition depicts an uninterrupted line of prisoners, captured in an endless march. Their stooped bodies and anonymous faces convey deep distress. The wire mesh framing the scene underlines their isolation and confinement. In this singular genre scene, Van Gogh deals with the human condition at its most tragic. La Ronde des Prisonniers is a profound reflection on the deprivation of freedom, transposed into a cycle of despair and perpetual solitude.
