Write a caption to appear in a museum next to Vincent van Gogh’s Portrait of Dr. Gachet. In the caption, explain the mood the artwork through an examination of the elements of art, as well as the overall aesthetic value of the work. Imagine a group of art history students has read your caption and disagrees with what you wrote for the van Gogh piece. Write a brief paragraph defending your analysis.

The painting causes feelings of sadness and sorrow in whom ever looks a the painting. The dark shades of blue really emphasize the feelings of sadness because blue is usually associated with sadness and despair. In addition to the dark colors the man has an arched and crooked kind of posture indicating that he is not content with his situation. His facial expression is also a key indicator that he is not in the best mood.
