Introduction
Welcome the audience:
Good morning, everybody. Welcome to my presentation.
Introduce the subject:
I’m very excited to have this opportunity to talk about one of my favorite pieces of art. It is called The Starry Night and was painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1889.
Main body
Background of the work of art
First, let me tell you about the background of this painting. It shows the French town, Saint-Remy-de-Provence at night. It is based on the view from a window in a hospital where Van Gogh was a patient. Sadly, he suffered from health issues throughout his life, and his work only found fame(获得名气) after his death. Although it shows the view at night, Van Gogh painted it during the day from memory. He also painted other versions at different times of day.
Description of the work of art
This is an oil painting on canvas(画布). One can immediately tell from its features that it is a Van Gogh painting. For example, the swirls (旋动) in the sky show Van Gogh‘s distinctive painting style. The curled dashes of bold color(清晰明显的色彩) can be seen in many of his works. The moon and stars are big and yellow. This was Van Gogh’s favorite color.
Review of the work of art
Although Van Gogh did not think the painting was very good, it is considered a masterpiece and is one of the most recognized paintings in the history of Western art. It really captures the viewers’ attention and draws them in. It gives the viewer an idea of the state of mind of Van Gogh at this difficult time in his life.
Conclusion
All in all, I think this is a great example of Van Gogh’s style. It is a magical painting, and a piece of work of a troubled genius.
