"View Under a Stormy Sky", 1888 or 1889

Artist / Vincent van Gogh
(1853–1890)

Oil on canvas
60 × 73 cm

This is unmistakably a spring landscape—the season when storms, though dramatic, aren’t uncommon. The blooming meadow and the first tender green of the trees clearly signal spring. Yet, in the lower part of the painting, calm elements of the countryside contrast sharply with the turbulent sky above.

Perhaps this work is more than just a landscape—it may reflect Van Gogh’s inner emotional state. The painting is neither signed nor dated.

"Portrait of the writer Vladimir Ivanovich Dal", 1872

(1834–1882)

📚📚📚

Canvas, oil
94×80.5 cm

🤵 This portrait was likely painted on commission from P.M. Tretyakov for his gallery of portraits of "Russian writers, composers, and cultural figures."

It was created in Dal’s final year, a time of reflection. The viewer meets an austere elder, seated calmly in a Voltaire-style armchair, hands resting gently on his knees—quiet, composed, gazing into the depth of a life fully lived.
