This is an extremely spacious view of the asylum gardens where Van Gogfa was first treated after his break with Gauguin and the episode of the cut ear. The gardens look delightful: colourful and full of light. Although it is still winter this is an optimistic-looking picture, especially as the high viewpoint gives us such a wide vista of architecture and grounds. There is no hint of the pressure or mental disturbance that Van Gogh must have been suffering from at the time he painted this and he is still able to create a positive view of the world. A triumph of artistic genius over very difficult circumstances.
