Van Gogh created "The Grounds of the Asylum" in 1889 while staying at the asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France.
He was seeking treatment for his mental health struggles, including severe depression and anxiety.
The painting reflects his emotional turmoil and unique post-impressionist style.
At this time, he had roughly a year left before his death in July 1890, when he tragically shot himself.
Van Gogh voluntarily checked himself into the asylum, though he continued to produce some of his most famous works, like "The Starry Night," during this period.
