This painting is Van Gogh's Bedroom at Arles, by Vincent Van Gogh. This is one of the versions of this painting. There are three versions total.
I do not understand the point of painting the painting, almost identical, again. Possibly he couldn't find anything new to paint, so he recreated older pieces to earn some money.
There are very slight differences in the paintings - mostly color-wise. The color on the walls differs slightly in all three pictures. Another difference is the color of the table. The floor color also varies from painting to painting. I doubt Van Gogh repainted his room twice over the course of two years and redid the flooring. Why did he make these objects a different color? Did this make it easier to tell the paintings apart?
It's interesting how when you look at a painting closer, you find yourself asking a lot of questions...
