Vincent Van Gogh 'Prisoners Exercising' 1890 Vincent painted this towards the end of his stay at the asylum at Saint-Rémy. Thuis painting shows prisoners exercising so the figures create a barrier and they are contained by the physical barrier of the yard. Its easy to see how Vincent felt about the asylum. His painting is a stylised copy of an earlier print by Gustav Dore
