Question 1
There are various theories which try to explain the reddish sky in the background of this painting. One theory suggests that the artist's memory of the effects of the powerful volcanic eruption of Krakatoa, a volcanic island situated near Indonesia, which deeply tinted sunset skies red for months during 1883 and 1884, about a decade before the artist painted the painting. This explanation has been disputed by scholars, who note that X was an expressive painter and was not primarily interested in literal renderings of what he had seen. Another theory suggests that the proximity of both a slaughterhouse and a lunatic asylum to the site depicted in the painting may have offered some inspiration. Which popular painting are we talking about here and give me the painter?
