At first glance this painting simply depicts a huge wave over taking a boat. But look closer, an you'll see much more. You will see a mountain with snowy peaks in the back round. You will also see another boat a little farther back.
There is also the sky. Which looks like the clouds are glowing with sunlight. But the sky under the clouds is dark and gray, and it gets darker the closer it gets to the ground the darker it gets. I think that this represents that the sky or nature, started out clean and pure. But that humanity has polluted and taken it for granted. That humanity has filled this world with violence and weapons of destruction.
I think that this painting is a work of art. The water looks so real I could reach out and touch it. The boats are detailed and well made. Most of all, the sky is simply magnificent, the blending of colors is just perfect, I also love the contrast.
You put this painting into words so eloquently. I like how you notice the details and the spirit of the painting!
ReplyDeleteI really like the part about how humans have polluted the earth and taken nature for granted, because it is so true. (And that it is a slippery slope we are falling down.)
