L'Arlésienne (Bizet)
''L'Arlésienne'' is incidental music composed by Georges Bizet for Alphonse Daudet's drama of the same name, usually translated as ''The Girl from Arles''. It was first performed on 30 September 1872 at the Théâtre du Vaudeville in Paris. Macdonald, Hugh, The Bizet Catalog' Bizet's music consists of 27 numbers for chorus and small orchestra, ranging from pieces of background music (mélodrames) only a few measures long, to entr'actes. Macdonald, Hugh, The Bizet Catalog' The score achieves powerful dramatic ends with the most economic of means. Still, the work received poor reviews in the wake of the unsuccessful premiere and is not often performed now in its original form, although recordings are available. However, key pieces of the incidental music, most often heard in the form of two suites for orchestra, have become some of Bizet's most popular compositions.

L'Arlésienne (painting)
''L'Arlésienne'', ''L'Arlésienne : Madame Ginoux'', or ''Portrait of Madame Ginoux'' is the title given to a group of six similar paintings by Vincent van Gogh, painted in Arles, November 1888 (or later), and in Saint-Rémy, February 1890. L'Arlésienne () means literally "the woman from Arles". The subject, ''Marie Jullian'' (or ''Julien''), was born in Arles June 8, 1848 and died there August 2, 1911. She married ''Joseph-Michel Ginoux'' in 1866 and together they ran the ''Café de la Gare'', 30 Place Lamartine, where van Gogh lodged from May to mid-September 1888.

His courtship charmed the lady, then about 40 years of age, and in the first few days of November 1888 Madame Ginoux agreed to have a portrait ...
