A masterpiece happens when the artist doesn’t miss to include anything in the contexts of logic, theme, aesthetics, subject and reality. Though, that’s not an ultimate definition or the key to create a masterpiece. Those are just the few elements which we see in a masterpiece regardless it is a painting, story, sculpture or a building. They are mostly very comprehensive. The current painting could be categorized as a masterpiece of the artist. Giving enough weight and stance to each object in the painting, he hasn’t missed the littlest details of the real environment. Even a little squirrel on the lower left corner stands there un-boastingly. The painting could be called a veduta. The tribe resting beside the stream is a fortunate one for the […]

Exaggerated portrayal of a real place in Arles, France, Café Terrace at Night is much revered painting. In modern times, the real café on which the artist drew his painting is renamed as the Café Van Gogh and is reconstructed so it could look like the café in the painting. That’s the height of the painter in today’s time. Many visitors visit the café and stands at where Van Gogh placed his easel. As Van Gogh wrote in his letter to his brother Theo, the painting doesn’t depict the exact scenario of the place. The bright orangish-yellow and green texture of the café is the artist’s creation as well as the brightly blue starry night which artist described as a containing poor pale whitish light. […]

This Ukiyo-e piece is the most famous Japanese painting in its type. It represents a monstrous wave ascending over the two Japanese Boats. In the background is visible the infamous Mount Fuji (known for being active volcano mountain) covered with ice. The Great Wave of Kanagawa Analysis Ukiyo-e paintings are always very minimalistic, few colored, flat and yet impressive with its distinctive style. All of those characteristics are available in this picture. Due to the cumbersome process of making a Ukiyo-e, artists try to make a simple and with low colored painting. Contrary to that notion, Great Wave is comparatively rich with details and colors. The two boats with full of fishermen are called Oshiokuri-Bune. They are the fast boats which transports the live fishes […]

Completed in 1824, The Sea of Ice or sometimes referred as The Wreck of Hope is a piece by the German painter Casper David Friedrich. It represents the accident of a ship which is drowning under the ice while the broken ice sheet by the accident has arisen upwards significantly.

The Titan’s Goblet by American artist Thomas Cole is a romantic landscape painting which combines the elements of reality and fiction into one and creates a fictional landscape with very conveying representation. It was made in 1833. The composition The setting of the landscape is regular with mountain ranges, setting sun, a river (or lake) and big bright sky of evening in the background. It is an aerial view of the scene. Until this, it is a regular landscape painting. But, the point of interest in it makes the whole difference moving it from the category of landscape to the sub-categories of romantic and fictional landscape. A big, made out of rock goblet stands slightly on the right side of the painting. It is full […]

The landscape’s grandeur of “In The Higher Elevations” stuns us when we find out the little man standing middle of the river and also his relative height to the tall trees on the side and the mountain itself. Joseph McGurl has brought out the grandeur of the nature in the current painting with emphasizing on the beauty of the scene. As much as serenity the scene reflects, there also happens to be almost hearing the silent sound of nature in the air over the river. A sound of originality and authenticity. The raw form of nature where standing one alone man feels to be very tiny in front of everything. Painting analysis: Realism, Luminism, En Plein air and Staffage Joseph McGurl is a realist artist […]

Edmond Yon has become a well-known artist among nature-loving patrons. Almost 9 out 10 times, Yon’s paintings evoke a sense of appreciation which you never knew you had in you. Similar to many of his paintings, Au bord de la mer is a depiction of relaxation at its zenith. While the sea is evidently wide and open, Yon has been able to draw our attention to it with a series of immaculate strokes in blue in only a thin section across the canvas. Moreover, the subjects, who are most probably a family, are seen to be relaxing with the children in a rather prudent way. The beauty of the surrounding environment seems to compensate adequately for food, games and rides, which are usually on the […]

Isarlandschaft is a work that spells out the incomparable stature of rustic beauty and scenery painting. The work by Albert Zimmerman depicts very little as to any incident, but the presence of this environment in its heyday is an occasion in itself. The region’s exact location is unclear to me, but it should be somewhere in Germany, whose natural beauty is often an untold mystery. The region is even more captivating for the forests that rustle with heterogeneous colors amid vast grassland plains, history-sheathing mountains and a sky beyond which God loves playing with subtle colors. Life in and around Isarlandscaft is probably the most enriching experience possible for the sensitive soul. Although it does not have too many people to balm your loneliness all the time, it probably gives you a […]
