Van Gogh Skyscapes by Vincent van Gogh  - Digitally restored illustrations- Translated captions- AnnotatedThough few of Vincent Van Gogh's paintings give explicit mention of the sky in their names, a close observation of the master's skyscapes

 demonstrates a clear progression from the simple, more naturalistically portrayed skies of the early 1880s to the characteristically swirling, pulsating heavens of his late work, especially from 1887 to Van Gogh's death in 1890. In some of his finest masterpieces, the juxtaposition between dark blue and brilliant yellow is striking. Watch especially for yellow or yellow tones and their expressive power in these online reproductions of the sky as processed and presented through Van Gogh's mind and brush.Don't be fooled by the titles below: these paintings present masterful skies in addition to (literally above and beyond) other earthbound features.
