1888, Vincent van Gogh, Gauguin's Chair -- Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam)
From the museum label: Van Gogh went to great lengths to find elegant furnishings for Paul Gauguin, his guest in the Yellow House. This unusual painting of Gauguin's chair can be understood as a portrait of the artist. As a pendant to this work, with its nocturnal atmosphere and mysterious red and green colour contrast, Van Gogh painted his own rustic chair in a bright yellow and blue. The two works symbolise the very different characters of the two artists, who soon thereafter would quarrel fiercely and part ways.
