Père Tanguy was a Breton who was exiled and pardoned after taking part in the Paris Commune. This last painting of Tanguy is in the Musée Rodin, Paris. The painting conveys a sense of serenity that Van Gogh seeks for himself. The last and most advanced in style, skill and color reflects integration of Japanese, Impressionist, and other influences of the Parisian artist community. In the second painting Van Gogh introduces his Japanese prints. The first painting is somber and the composition is simple. The three works demonstrate a progression in Van Gogh's artistic style since arriving in Paris. Portrait of Père Tanguy, painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1887, is one of three paintings of Julien Tanguy. So thoroughly engaged in living the peasant lifestyle, his appearance and manner of speech began to separate himself from others, but this was a cost he believed he needed to bear for his artistic development. To do so was not something taught in schools, he noted, and became frustrated by traditionalists who focused on technique more so than the nature of the people being captured. To depicting the essence of the life of the peasant and their spirit, Van Gogh lived as they lived, he was in the fields as they were, enduring the weather or long hours as they were.

Van Gogh held laborers up to a high standard of how dedicatedly he should approach painting, "One must undertake with confidence, with a certain assurance that one is doing a reasonable thing, like the farmer who drives his plow. In 1885, Van Gogh described the painting of peasants as the most essential contribution to modern art. The "peasant genre" that greatly influenced Van Gogh began in the 1840s with the works of Jean-François Millet, Jules Breton, and others. In November 1882, Van Gogh began drawings of individuals to depict a range of character types from the working class. Main article: Peasant Character Studies (Van Gogh series) At this time it was rare for Van Gogh to use color, as he found it difficult to work with (see early works of Vincent van Gogh). Unlike the character studies, the work was detailed in pencil with watercolor and chalk. Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo in November 1882 that he had drawn a portrait of Jozef Blok (F993), a street bookseller who was sometimes called "Binnenhof's outdoor librarian". Even so, he considered it a "serious matter" to focus on their character, one where his approach should be trusted. He wrote to his brother, Theo while studying in The Hague, "I want to do a drawing that not quite everybody will understand, the figure simplified to the essentials, with a deliberate disregard of those details that do not belong to the actual character and are merely accidental." As an example, he discussed having their parents pose for a painting, but that, in capturing the character of a "poor village clergyman" or "a couple who have grown old together in love and fidelity", they may not appreciate the work, because in doing so the painting would not be an exact likeness. Van Gogh was fascinated with making portraits early in his artistic career. The Netherlands and Brussels (1881–1886) Vincent van Gogh painted portraits throughout his career from 1881 through 1890. Van Gogh's portraiture focuses on color and brushstrokes to demonstrate their inner qualities and Van Gogh's own relationship with them. Vincent van Gogh implemented this ideology to pursue his goal of depicting his own feelings toward and involvement with his subjects. Impressionist artists did this by emphasizing certain hues, using vigorous brushstrokes, and paying attention to highlighting. With the development of photography, painters and artists turned to conveying the feeling and ideas behind people, places, and things rather than trying to imitate their physical forms. Vincent van Gogh lived during the Impressionist era. Main articles: Vincent van Gogh and Portraits of Vincent van Gogh ![]()
