Les marines d'Ivan Aivazovsky (1817-1900) ont fait sa renommée en Russie, son pays natal o il était peintre de cour pour Nicolas Ier, mais n'ont que peu dépassé ces frontières. Maître du Sublime, il a fait de l'océan le sujet principal de son OEuvre. Tantt déchaîné et cataclysmique, tantt calme et apaisant, l'élément marin constitue autant d'allégories de la condition humaine. Comme Turner, dont il connaissait et admirait le travail,...

La acuarela que se consideró como un medio secundario de dibujo durante mucho tiempo, disfrutó una verdadera edad de oro en Inglaterra en el siglo XVIII. Sin embargo, la acuarela en el sentido más estrecho ya se conocía como técnica utilizando colores barnizandos desde el siglo IX d.c. y ha evolucionado continuamente con el tiempo. Cada técnica lleva su ley de estilo en sí misma, y la acuarela en particular está llena de exigencias a los artistas...

This paradox-the sadness and health of the country-reflects van Gogh's own situation: nature always was a kind of home for him-a home that he could never share with anyone else. In Saint-Rémy, van Gogh had worked on a picture named The Reaper:
"For I see in this reaper [...] the image of death, in the sense that humanity might be the wheat he is reaping. So he is-if you like-the antithesis of that sower I tried to do before. But there's nothing sad...

Esta paradoja, la tristeza y la salud del campo, refleja la propia situación de Van Gogh: la naturaleza fue siempre una especie de hogar para él: un hogar que nunca podría compartir con nadie más. En Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh había trabajado en una pintura llamada el «Sembrador»: «Porque lo que veo en este sembrador [...] la imagen de la muerte, en el sentido de que la humanidad podría ser ese trigo que está cosechando. De modo que es, si así...

Botticelli is a painter not of facts, but of ideas, and his pictures are not so much a representation of certain objects as a pattern of forms. Nor is his colouring rich and lifelike, it is subordinated to form, and often rather a tinting than actual colour. In fact, he was interested in the abstract possibilities of his art rather than in the concrete. For example, his compositions, as has just been said, are a pattern of forms, his figures do not...

a vita e l'opera di Vincent van Gogh sono talmente intrecciate che è quasi impossibile osservare i suoi quadri senza leggervi la storia della sua vita: una vita raccontata tanto spesso da essersi trasformata in leggenda.
Van Gogh è l'incarnazione della sofferenza, il martire incompreso dell'arte moderna, l'emblema dell'artista come outsider.
