When Vincent had moved to Arles in 1888 he sketched his room in a letter to his brother Theo, to show how comfortable it was. Satisfied with it, he also made an oil painting of it. At the hospital of Saint-Rémy in 1889 he made two similar oil paintings, probably as a souvenir of better times. One of these is in Chicago. The other one (and the one of 1888) in Amsterdam.

How did the french impress van gogh?

Van Gogh moved to Paris for a time and then to Arles in the South of France before commiting himself into an aslyum. He encountered the impressionist (such as Manet and Seurat) and copied their technique of painting before moving to Arles and creating his own style. The people of Arles hated him and they signed a petition and presented it to the Mayor of the town saying that they wanted him to leave or be put in an asylum (this was after he cut off his own ear and presented it to a prostitute).
