Pictures that feel like home
For a housewarming, a first flat or a long-awaited move: rooms, gardens and doorways that say "welcome".
A new home is the best excuse for a new picture. These are the ones we’d bring to a housewarming.
The Bedroom — Van Gogh’s rented room in the Yellow House in Arles, painted as a picture of home. In AR, the shutters open onto a sunlit street.
Sunflowers — painted to decorate a room and welcome a guest into Van Gogh’s new house. It has been welcoming people ever since.
The Artist’s Garden at Vétheuil — sunflowers line the steps up to the family’s house.
The Morning Hour — morning light in a lived-in room, the window thrown open to the view: the first morning in a new place.
The Unexpected Guest — a table set and waiting: an open invitation to visit.
Wisteria Bridge — a lived-in house with wisteria spilling over its doorway and bridge.
