The moment the sun rises is magic on any day and when the scene involves the magnifigance of a mountain and a lake what could be better? Turner the Master, capture it wonderfull;y and words would be futile to describe it
This painting is one of light and dark, the light being the yellow fiekd and the dark of the tree.It is about contrast ,shadow and light, the yeloow and green could be over powering but the artist has managed to control this with his unique style
Looking up at the night sky and the starlight by the tree,the shape of the tree and the light of the stars important things to observe in this painting
The artist on his way to his work. Van Gogh liked to be imersed in work and subject and be part of the land
Unfortunatley this painting was deystroyed by fire in the second world war
The man by the tree appears to be isolated but given the nature of the bulding this is not surprising as it was the place Van Gogh stayed for a year after his breakdown and according to the doctors notes van Gogh was sufferring from 'acute mania with hallucinations of sight and hearing as well as epeleptic fits at inferequent intervals'
