Man in the Painter's Room

After his release from the Saint-Paul asylum in 1890, Vincent Van Gogh wandered the French countryside before stumbling on the Ravoux Inn. Although still plagued by mental illness, he found some peace and joy there among his adoptive family, painting over 75 works of art in just three months.

A 132-page color graphic novel by Jamison Odone, Associate Professor of Illustration at Frostburg University, based on the first-hand account of Adeline Ravoux, the innkeeper’s daughter, with whom Vincent shared a special bond. The Man in the Painter’s Room offers a unique perspective into the day-to-day joys and struggles leading up to the final days of his life.
