Vincent Van Gogh Houses At Auvers Fine Art Painting
Houses at Auvers is an oil painting by Vincent van Gogh, painted in June 1890, when he moved to Auvers-sur-Oise, a small town just north of Paris, France. Although considered iconic in the modern period, van Gogh only sold a single painting, yet he never ceased to paint. His work resulted in powerful and emotional canvases that contain more than the depicted subject. He painted 77 paintings during the period he was in Auvers, many of whose themes revisit his earlier interest in the lives of peasants and their cottages. He was particularly fascinated by old thatched roofs, which were picturesque and evocative, but even then were scarce. Houses at Auvers strikingly contrasts his textured treatment of a tiled roof with the adjacent thatched cottages.

Katsushika Hokusai The Great Wave Off Kanagawa (1830)

The Great Wave off Kanagawa (also known as The Great Wave or simply The Wave, is an ukiyo-e print by Japanese artist Hokusai, published sometime between 1830 and 1833 in the late Edo period as the first print in Hokusai’s series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. It is Hokusai’s most famous work, and one of the best recognized works of Japanese art in the world. It depicts an enormous wave threatening boats off the coast of the prefecture of Kanagawa. While sometimes assumed to be a tsunami, the wave is, as the picture’s title notes, more likely to be a large okinami (“wave of the open sea”). As in all the prints in the series, it depicts the area around Mount Fuji under particular conditions, and the mountain itself appears in the background.
