	Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh : 3 June 1890
		I am working on his portrait, the head with a white cap, very fair, very light, the hands also a light flesh tint, a blue frock coat and a cobalt blue background, leaning on a red table, on which are a yellow book and a foxglove plant with purple flowers.
		Gachet is absolutely fanatical about this portrait, and wants me to do one of him, if I can, exactly like it, which I should like to myself.
		He has now managed to understand the last portrait of the Arlésienne, of which you have one in pink; he always comes back to these two portraits when he comes to see the studies, and he accepts them completely, but completely, as they are.

		In his medical school dissertation on the subject of melancholy, Gachet had argued that "all the great men, philosophers, tyrants, the great conspirators, the great criminals, the great poets, the great artists" suffered from the illness.[3] The romanticism of his thesis suggests that this was an elite group to which Gachet yearned for entry.
		Hovering at the edges of bohemia, the young doctor went on to establish a thriving medical practice in the capital, where he served a clientele composed primarily of creative types: painters who were happy to give him art in exchange for medical services, musicians and actors who would pay him with tickets to their performances.
		Gachet moved his family to the village of Auverssur-Oise, a short distance from Paris, for the sake of his wife's ailing health in 1872.

	Guardian \| The remarkable Dr Gachet
		But until now, no one has subjected the Dr Gachet portrait to proper scientific examination.' An eccentric and unlikely patron in almost every way, Gachet was an avid listener, encourager and collector who played a unique - and largely unsung - role in the Impressionist and post-Impressionist movements.
		The doctor, Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo, was 'a curious fellow, 60-ish, a widower, an eccentric.
		Doubts about the authenticity of some of the works, including the famous portrait, began circulating as early as the mid-1950s, fuelled largely by the fact that Gachet pere et fils painted - and commissioned from others - dozens of copies of works by the artists the doctor had known.

	Books : Cezanne to Van Gogh The Collection of Doctor Gachet
		Vincent van Gogh's Portrait of Doctor Gachet sparked considerable and somewhat notorious debate when it was sold at auction in 1990 for the record-breaking sum of $82,500,000.
		Regarded by his contemporaries as 'one of the liveliest and most sympathetically original of men,' the physician, art collector, and amateur artist Paul Gachet (1828-1909) was a friend and patron to a number of struggling artists including Candeacute;zanne, Pissarro, Monet, Renoir, and van Gogh.
		Always a controversial figure (partly due to his arguable incompetence, partly due to the questionable authenticity of some of the works in his possession), this book is a wonderful exploration of the man and his collection.
