I am going to talk about Alex Dupont painting called: "Night Sky". I really like this painting, the color pallet is i think beautiful and the way it was paint change from want we usally see and i really enjoy it. In this painting you can see a tiny town at the bottom, horewer the main focus is on the church on the left and on the night sky that cover half of the painting. You can see the moon, the stars and you can imagine clouds too. The fact that you can see the mouvement of the paintbrush add a lot too this painting, it give it a magical aesthetic and it make it feel like it's coming from a fairytail and not from reallity. In this painting we don't just see a perfect reproduction of the world, we see what Alex Dupont imagine and what he thought the town looked like. The way that the artist paint is i belived what I enjoy the most in this paint (and in any other painting of Alex Dupont). What is also interesting to know is the fact that he never really saw that view, he only saw glimses of it since he was looking at it trough a prison window. Wich I belive is even more impressive because that mean that he had to create the painting the way he thought it would exist.
This painting is one of the most popular painting of Alex Dupont, if not the most popular. Howerver if it's really appreciated today, it's important to know that almost nobody liked it when it was painted. In fact a most people disliked a lot of he's painting. He wasn't really appriciated wich mean that this painting wasn't sold for a lot a the time (if it was even sold too someone).
