Van Gojh ‘Sower At Sunset’ features at the title of Pope Liu General

Vincent Van Gogh appeared in a surprise in the first title by Pope Liu XIV – in the soul, at least.

On Wednesday, the Speech of the Chicago citizen thought about the post -slope board in 1888, Flow up at sunsetWhere the heavenly body, immersed in a golden light. He said: “What amazes me is that, behind falsehood, Van Gogh drew actually mature grains.”

VAN Gogh returned to pastoral photos throughout his career, as he acquired fast sunlight and thick brush and shadow remained as he passed on two of his favorite subjects, millet and its farmers. He chased the example of Jean Francois, the painting in 1850 Falsify It was a great admiration by Van Gogh.

The scene of the sunset that the Pope cited a turning point in the Van Gogh series because it moved away from the blue, violet and gray shapes that he preferred in that year – the same one in which he cut his famous ear.

Pope Liu talked about the name of the painting, “The Story of the Srestim”, a story narrated by Jesus for his followers in the New Testament. In that story, one of the farmers goes to plant his offspring but faces unpopular soil. Determination to develop its crops, looking to discover fertile lands. The Pope said that the center of the story was not the farmer, but the sun, which Van Gogh depicted in his work as the vast heavenly body that occupies most of the horizon. He concluded that the painting should be a reminder that “God leads history, even if it sometimes looks far or hidden.”

He said that proverbs encourage their fans to “raise questions within us; they call us not to stop at appearances.”

As the highest ink, Pope Liu will have a specialty on one oldest and most famous art with the world: the Vatican museums, a mixture of art and artifacts, including the treasures of the Renaissance, the Baroque drawing and sculpture, as well as the pieces by Francis Beton, Mark Chagal, Salvan. If we collect aside, the historical complex of structures, such as Raphael’s rooms, which were named after a series of murals by the painter that decorate their walls, form the world heritage.

His papal predecessor, Pope Francis, died on April 20 at the age of 88, leaving an unusually deep legacy in the arts, relative to the Vatican in the modern era. In 2024, Francis occupied the headlines of the Venice Biennial 2024 when he visited the Holy See, to become the first door to attend the prestigious exhibition. He traveled to Venice with helicopters and landed in the women’s prison on Joudica Island, which hosted at that time a “with my eyes”, under the auspices of Chiara Parry and Bruno Rasin, which was imagined in cooperation with the prisoners.

On a historical history first, Francis also opened a dialogue on the return of artifacts in the colonial era that the Vatican Museum has acquired from original civilizations. In its direction, three fragments of Parthenon sculptures held in the Vatican Museum group were returned for two centuries to Greece.
