A framed painting by Vincent van Gogh entitled "Road Menders at Saint Remy".

Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 to 29 July 1890) was a post Impressionist painter of Dutch origin whose work, notable for its rough beauty, emotional honesty and bold color, had a far-reaching influence on 20th century art. On 8 May 1889, accompanied by his carer, the Reverend Salles, Van Gogh committed himself to the hospital at Saint Paul de Mausole. A former monastery in Saint Remy less than 20 miles from Arles, the monastery is located in an area of cornfields, vineyards and olive trees. During his stay, the clinic and its garden became the main subjects of his paintings. Some of the work from this time is characterized by swirls, including one of his best known paintings The Starry Night.
