battle of milk creek

This picture amazingly captures the think layer of clouds over the valley near the south of Lake Como, northern Italy. In the above image, the dense cloud hides almost the valley and leaves some artificial lights that make the town like an opaque blanket. The village over distance is clearly seen out of your blanket. Van Gogh began his work relying on the Dutch Masters. He was intrigued by the Masters' ability to have fun with shadow and lightweight. He also found an association in the painting of common events and/or people. For instance, The Potato Eaters captures a small grouping of peasants sitting yourself down for any meal. The painting is dark, yet, light radiates from your faces.
