Introduction
On May 7th 1889, Vincent van Gogh was admitted to this asylum for treatment for his mental illness. He stayed there for about a year and a half. During this period he painted some of his famous art works. This includes “Sunflowers,” which was completed at Saint-Remy in June 1889, as well as “Almond Blossom” (“Les Amandiers”), “Wheatfield with Cypresses” and four other paintings that were completed later on in Auvers-sur-Oise, where he had moved after leaving the asylum..
The Saint-Paul Asylum is located in the town of Saint-Remy, France.
The Saint-Paul Asylum is located in the town of Saint-Remy, France. It was built as a psychiatric hospital in 1793 and still operates today. The asylum was founded by two priests who were interested in caring for people suffering from mental illnesses and providing them with treatment options that would help them lead productive lives outside of an institution. This was a novel idea at the time–prior to this, there had been no organized attempts at treating mental illness through any sort of medical intervention or rehabilitation programs; instead, people with these conditions were often locked up without any form of treatment whatsoever!
Saint-Paul’s first patients were transferred there from other institutions around France where they had been living during their recovery periods before being admitted into this new facility specifically designed with their needs in mind (and which also happened to be closer than any other facility). Although treatment methods have changed significantly over time due to advancements made by modern science (and perhaps even more importantly: society’s changing attitudes towards those afflicted), one thing remains constant: There are still many people throughout history who suffer from various forms mental illness today – just like there always have been throughout history – but thanks partly due those early pioneers’ efforts here at Saint Paul Hospital we now have access

You might be wondering what an asylum is, and why a famous artist would choose to go there. An asylum is a place where people with mental illness can be cared for by nuns, who take care of the patients’ physical needs while doctors try to treat their mental illnesses.
In 1889 Vincent van Gogh was admitted to Saint-Paul Asylum in Arles after he had cut off part of his earlobe during a fight with Paul Gauguin (another painter) over money. Van Gogh had been suffering from depression and delusions ever since he left Paris in 1886 and moved back home with his brother Theo – he thought everyone was out to get him!
He stayed there for about a year and a half.

However, Van Gogh did not want to be committed to an asylum at all; he only went because his brother insisted on it after his breakdown in Arles in 1888. They thought that being in an institution would help him recover from what they considered mental illness (now thought to have been bipolar disorder).

On July 27th 1890, Van Gogh wrote what would be his last letter to his brother Theo: “I am rather tired with this life.” It was clear from this letter that Vincent was considering suicide as an option for ending his pain and suffering from mental illness.
