There are many similarities and differences between the paintings “Starry Night” by Vincent Van Gogh and “Night Hawk” by Edward Hopper.

Transporting into a painting is a great quality…
The image I analyzed was one of Van Gogh’s most famous, “Starry Night” This painting was created in 1889. The image itself is an oil painting, and is currently located at the Museum of Modern art in New York City. This is image is the view from Van Gogh’s room at an asylum he put himself into and was painted from memory afterwards. At first glance this image automatically creates a sense of calmness. With its dark warm colors and the seemingly flowing lines that create the image itself. This…

The painting being analyzed is called Evening on Karl Johan Street by Edvard Munch. This oil on canvas painting was produced in 1982. What the painting is portraying is a crowd of people walking on a street. The people’s faces seem to look skeleton like much like other works done by Munch such as the most well known painting called The Scream. The sky appears as if the sun has just set and the day has just moved on into the early evening. The background of the painting consists of building that…
CYGNUS One of the most prominent constellations in the night sky, and one of the most involved and eventful regions of space, the Cygnus constellation and its surrounds are fascinating, and a worthwhile talking point for many a topic.
