The artist chosen for this assignment is Vincent Van Gough. This artist is one of many that I personally admire, because he went through so much and having a mental disorder didn’t quite help the situation. What I find so amusing with the story of this artist is that his artworks weren’t considered as good works when he was still alive infect the majority always saw his works as badly done. But after his death not only that his works were considered as a master piece but he is one of the most sought out artist, in today’s artistic world. Who was Vincent Van Gough?, What was his story?, one might ask. His full name is Vincent Willem Van Gough and he was born on March the 30th 1853, and died on July the 29th 1890. He was considered as a post-impressionist painter, which his art is by far known for its beauty, emotion and for his choice of colour, which than influenced quite a bit the 20th- century. Unfortunately he struggled …show more content…

An interesting factor would be the winding road that curls from the foreground, that appears of being cut off and leading to nowhere. The crows are shown to be moving towards the dark blue sky. What is a bit alarming is the number of crows, which is slightly too much and worrying, that the viewer might be questioning at where are these coming from and what are they actually going. This work symbolizes Van Gough’s life with isolation and the loneliness that he felt. (Simon, 2017) Another one of his masterpiece is the painting ‘The Starry Night’ that he did during his stay in the Asylum in Saint- Rémy, France in 1889 a year before he died. An interesting quote that he wrote to his brother, that explains the painting is, “This morning I saw the countryside from my window a long time before sunrise, with nothing but the morning star, which looked very big”.

    Philosopher Alain De Botton uses Vincent Van Gough to persuade his audiences into seeing and embracing our environments so that we can full understand the extent of their impact on society/us, “It was for Van Gogh the mark of every great painter to allow us to see certain aspects of the world more clearly” this evaluative statement highlights De Botton's and Van Gough's attempt to convince the respondents of their neglectfulness to their elements in their travels and everyday lives. As Van Gough’s distinct style of representing forms expresses his emotions of society, “Artists could paint a portion of the world and in consequence open the eyes of others to it”, said by Alain De Botton suggests that artists eyes are open to the world and it is those that we see it through.

    The sun beams from the sky are lighting up a small area of the painting and the rest is dark and gloomy. The gloominess of the painting represents dark and depressing times while the brightness of the sky creeps through thick dark clouds. This represents heaven because heaven is so large and bright and amazing that even though life is hard and seems like the world is ending, there is always something greater out there. Personally, I love this painting. I really like how Dore paints that trees and valley dark because it really highlights the beams from the sun.
