Overlooking controversies like the Mary’s marital role or Jesus’ marriage is the imposing fresco, done by master-painter who has made it very easy for us to realize the importance of Jesus in times of constant fear, famine and war. Uccelo lived in the early medieval period, in which the masses had none to look forward to, but a hero to look back upon, only in the hope of the peace he wished would prevail. While Uccelo has been an avid presenter of biblical stories in fresco, he has also been one of the most respected personalities in his genre – which has evidently bolted through the next few centuries like rock n roll! The adolescent […]

Uccelo’s fascination with the Christian stories, and those, which marked his times, often resonate with each other in his Italian old-town frescoes. Here, the birth of the virgin is momentous, in which the kin folk and everyone else around are all up and about to make things easier, better and happier. Notice the lady swishing down the steps with the needed items, and the well-attended room in which The Virgin is getting blessed by almost everybody. It is easy to imagine why Uccelo’s imagination about the birth of Mary coincides and shows up as […]

It was painted in 1890, during his stay in the Saint-Remy’s hospital. There he was confined in the building without much allowance to wander outside. He would paint the scenes from the windows of his room. His known painting, The Starry Night and some other notable works are executed in the same way. Other way for him was to rely on his memories. The only painting sold by the artist, The Red Vineyard is such prominent work he made from his memories of the vineyard he once visited. The third way to have subject for paintings was copying his favorite artists’ works. From 1887 to 1890, he admitted […]

Against the sky-high prices we see now for a Van Gogh work, at the time Van Gogh sold it for 400 francs to a Belgian lady painter Anna Boch. She was a collector of good art-works and admirer of young artists of her time. Another painting owned by Anna Boch was The Peach Blossoms in the Crau. Vincent van Gogh painted this piece from his memory and some aspects of imagination. It was created at The Yellow House in Arles, France.

It was made in 1940 right after the end of the Spanish Civil War and before the beginning of the second World War. The Face of War Analysis The setting is of a desert at the time of late evening when the sun is still lingering near the horizon. The face is dismembered from its body and has withered to death. Though, there are expressions on it. Expressions which are left on a dead man’s face. It’s shock and misery. The face is in the awe by the happenings of a war. On the both sides, it is covered with alive […]
