NAME:

Nature

Nature, a very big word that involves everything around. It is the great scenario of life – what we inherited and what already existed, even without human action. Nature is in the Universe and is made of water, earth, minerals, vegetation. She is our frame. That's where it starts and ends.
But what does it represent? Where does it start? How does the landscape mirror and reflect our gaze, our feeling, our thinking?
Artists of all times and places have always pursued questions like this, creating their own interpretations of the meaning of nature.

Already mature, living in his house in Giverny, surrounded by beautiful and vast gardens, Monet confessed that throughout his life he had a single desire: “to merge as closely as possible with the nature". That's exactly what he achieved when he painted his series of water lilies or water lilies, types of aquatic plants.
Monet did not want to specify the flowers and leaves he accurately portrayed, but rather to propose a climate of nature, painting lights and shadows, light and darkness, foliage and its reflections.
Van Gogh, one of the greatest names in Western art, brings an emotional energy to his canvases like no other artist. His way of painting cypresses is manifested by nervous, twisted, curved, intertwined brushstrokes. Cypresses are dark green trees whose structure is composed of small and numerous needles. In painting, they resemble flames and seem to come to life. The clouds are also twisting and at times the landscape looks like it's about to collapse.
