The Yellow House is one of Vincent van Gogh’s most famous paintings, created in 1888 during his time in Arles, France. The house depicted in the painting was Van Gogh’s residence, where he dreamed of creating an artists’ community.
Vincent had finally found a place at the Yellow House where he could not only paint but also have his friends come to stay. His plan was to turn the yellow corner-building into an artists’ house, where like-minded painters could live and work together.

Artist Paul Signac, a friend of Vincent's, created a variation on "The Yellow House" theme in his 1932 watercolor, "The House of Van Gogh." Although it is more colorful and lively than the original, it retains the perspective and architectural features of the residence in Arles.
In 1888, Vincent Van Gogh moved to Arles, a small town in the south of France, where he rented a four-room house that would become known as the Yellow House.
The Yellow House is unfortunately no longer to be found in Arles. In 1888, Vincent rented two rooms on the ground floor of number 2 Place Lamartine (his kitchen and studio) and another two smaller rooms on the first floor (his bedroom and guest bedroom).
