The Starry Night was painted in June 1889 when Vincent van Gogh was staying at a home for the mentally ill. Van Gogh painted what he saw from his window - the night sky with clouds, stars and a moon. However, he didn't just paint the clouds. He also painted the massive circles of white and yellow racing across the sky. The stars and the moon hang bright in the night sky. Beneath this amazing sky, we see a sleeping village and a dark, lonely tree.
The Scream was painted by Edvard Munch in 1893. What makes it striking is that it shows a thin figure with an expression of fear - the figure's mouth is wide open and letting out a powerful scream. The figure covers his or her ears and looks directly at the viewer. This figure is set on a bridge above a dark, stormy sea, and against a burning orange-red sky.
The Empire of Light is among a series of paintings by Belgian artist René Magritte between 1953 and 1954. He painted the same scene 27 times. It shows a beautiful house lit by lights from inside, surrounded by the darkness of night. What is strange is that above the house and the tree, we see a daytime sky full of brightness and soft white clouds. It seems like quite a mysterious scene.
· Each painting is focused on the artist's interpretation of nature, especially the aspects of the sky.
· All three paintings paint the sky with bright colours and the darkness in each one manifests (表明) a typical feature.
What's your opinion of the three paintings after reading the descriptions?
Do you like or dislike them more?
Give your reasons.
Helpful vabulary words:
· artistic beauty · originality
· emotional · atmosphere
· colour scheme · dramatic
· contrast of A and B · highlights
· the painting makes me feel uneasy/inspired
· dark and troubling · failure · powerful
