Vincent in Auvers sur Oise
(1890) 

In May 1890, Vincent left the clinic in Saint-Rémy to move nearer the physician Dr. Paul Gachet in Auvers-sur-Oise, and also to Theo. 

 

Gachet was recommended by Camille Pissarro, had treated several other artists, and was himself an amateur artist. Vincent wrote in a letter about his first impression of Gachet : "I’ve seen Dr Gachet, who gave me the impression of being rather eccentric, but his doctor’s experience must keep him balanced himself while combating the nervous ailment from which it seems to me he’s certainly suffering at least as seriously as I am.".
