Evening Landscape with Rising Moon by Van Gogh Square Wall Clock

The moon, the sun and the stars were important symbolic elements for Van Gogh who equated their radiating light to religious precepts surrounding resurrection, redemption and salvation. The moon is just rising over the Alpilles, illuminating the wheat sheaves in the foreground. Van Gogh spends a long time working on the canvas. In the final phase, he paints a maze of small, light purple brushstrokes over the scene to enhance the nocturnal light effect. Over time, these have gradually discoloured to much whiter stripes, making the scene less ‘nocturnal’ than he had intended. Customise it with your own details.
