Sunset over Purple Field
Entering the scenery of this artwork, we receive a pleasant view of a field, accompanied by a lone farmhouse in a continuous landscape.
Somewhere away from the modern world, we are greeted by the green trees, as they are the first to catch our eyes. Following the trees, we find our way to a single farmhouse in the middle of the landscape.
In the front, next to the house, we are drawn to the subject of the painting, the field with purple flowers, which expands further into the background, to the distant hills where the sun is setting, given the soft and gentle sky with clouds overseeing the evening field of flowers.
All aspects taken together, we get presented with this gentle atmosphere in the artwork. The flowers make use of the impasto technique, which thickens and accentuates the flowers, to enhance the details and increase their vibrancy.
Further on, we meet the farmhouse surrounded by a small forest of green trees, with a pathway leading to the house. This farmhouse is the only building within the vast expanse of fields and nature; this promotes the feeling of isolation, solitude, but also brings out feelings of peace and relaxation, a breakaway from the busy life of the modern world.
The soft evening sky with clouds only continues to build this already relaxed atmosphere, with its gentle but contrasting colours. The clouds hide the setting sun, yet its sunlight can still be seen shining through, across the horizon. The sky helps bring out the beauty of the painting even more.
In conclusion, should you want something with a relaxing, cozy atmosphere, while still retaining bright and vibrant scenery, this artwork is quite a fitting choice.
