The island hidden under the big buildings in the middle of the Lake Maggiore is called Isola Bella (beautiful island). The lake is situated at the south side of the Alps mountain range. It is a real place and many tourists visit the place annually. If we consider the painting as a little window to the real place, we get quickly assured that the reality could not be defined on a canvas more precisely than the artist Gaspar van Vittel. He was known for his accurate topographical views which are called Vedute in art-fields. Vedute paintings mean the accurate illustration of any topographical place. Vittel undoubtedly acquired the mastery in Vedute paintings as we can enjoy the real place’s beauty on our computer screens. Popular […]

Anyone would like to live at a place where there is a beautiful village at the bank of a serene river with quiet; fresh and bird-tweeting environment always welcomes you with promise of tranquility. Peter Wint’s portrayal of such place makes us feel allured towards the place to see with our eyes riding on the boat same boat included in the picture. Additionally, the stream painted here is no other but the significant river Thames of England and the village is Cookham as the title tells. The painting has been drawn by watercolor pencil, a less used than oil-on-canvas but much popular among its lovers due to its facility of providing best of both technics. You can have a watercolor shades as well as the […]

Painted with watercolor pencil, English painter Peter Wint has depicted a scene from his wife’s hometown Lincolnshire. It’s a stack yard of the village with nothing much interesting elements included. Still the artistic adequacy makes the scene beautiful. The ground is harvested and cleared up for the next season. The yellowish tint reaching all the corners gives the painting a warmth feeling. Benefitting from the medium of watercolor pencil, artist has benefitted the advantage of the medium in thin lines.

We are seeing a hot afternoon under which a peasant is working on his vegetable garden.The realistic approach of the painting gives it a solid and original orientation to the painting. As if the artist tried to give us the glimpse of the place without adding any artistic flavours. It is just a plain view of a day in which one of the working peasants is bent over the ground. It could be represented as a resemblance to the daily life of a peasant in the country or any labour around the world. The deliberate realistic angel gives the subject its originality. You can’t depict a hard-working labour with calorific and decorative way to describe his hardship or his daily work. The description should be […]

Modern time filled with high-budget movies with special effects, we often forget that imagination and fantasy was not invented in modern time. It was sprouted in a human mind as soon as a human started ‘rational thinking’. Fantasy is a state where everything is possible and everything is allowed. When an artist mixes his fantasy and reality, he conjures up something which is totally unprecedented. Here, I see such combination of reality and fantasy by the Welsh painter Richard Wilson. Here, as the title says, is a capriccio painting bringing two different places at one. In art, capriccio means a painting which consist the combination of fictional or real architecture and buildings. Thus, they are partly real but don’t exist in real world as a […]
