Digging for Magical Mysteries in Art - Part II
Transform an ordinary space into a visual oasis with healing sunset art.
It's easy to get caught up in our everyday lives. In these moments, nature-inspired art can have a relaxing effect on our eyes and souls. One of Mother Nature's greatest masterpieces, the sunset is a uniquely magnificent sight to behold. The low-hanging sun paints the sky with golden hues, and brings a warm and tranquil glow to everything it touches. The sunset may only last for a few fleeting moments a day, but you can enjoy its beauty any time you like, through the artwork of artists who ventured to capture its splendor.

Through the eyes of the beholder
Day after day, the wind and clouds dance with the orange light of the setting sun to produce an unpredictable, celestial landscape. The ethereal, contrasting colors swirling across the sky make the sunset a favorite muse of many artists. Open to endless interpretations at the hands of an artist, sunset art not only offers a depiction of nature, but also a reflection of the emotions of its creator.
“Arts washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”
- Pablo Picasso
- Horizon 2, Jinseok Lee
- Por do Sol na Lagoa Gaiva(2002), Araquém Alcântara
Bask in the serene glow of the horizon
Have you ever seen the sun's yellow light stretched and reflected across the infinite horizon as it sets? Both breathtaking and healing, it gently reminds us of the vastness of space and time, and can re-center us when we lose our perspective. This may be why so many artists are drawn to the sunset's reflection on the water. Marvel at the sunset mirrored in the waters of Lake Gaiba in South America or in the Norwegian Sea from the beaches of the Lofoten Islands.

World-famous sunsets
Though the sunset can be seen from anywhere, there are certain places on the globe renowned for their awe-inspiring sunsets. For example, there's nothing quite like seeing Paris, the city of lights, bathed in the warm, yellow and orange glow of golden hour. The rich colors of the sunset make even the most mundane parts of the city appear otherworldly. Some would say that Montparnasse Tower is the best place to see the sunset in Paris, with an unforgettable 360-degree panoramic view of the city.
Or travel to the the coast of the Mediterranean, to the picture-perfect city of Venice. Take a gondola from Piazza San Marco and watch as the setting sun coats the city and sea in a pink haze. Once declared "the most beautiful drawing room in Europe" by Napoleon, the Piazza San Marco in Venice is one of the most famous spots in the world to watch the sunset.
“The light constantly
changes, and that alters the
atmosphere and beauty of
things every minute.”
- Claude Monet
- Grainstacks in the Morning, Snow Effect(1266-1290), Claude Monet
The brilliant lights of the sunset
Claude Monet, founder of French Impressionist painting, studied the effects of light by painting the same scenery during various times. The Impressionists were fascinated by the way colors changed when reflecting light at different times of day, especially during the sunset. The sunset's radiance creates picturesque landscapes that inspire countless artists and dreamers looking up at the sky. You can experience this magical inspiration any time of day at home, with a sunset painting from the Art Store displayed right on The Frame.
