Pinto Art Museum Analysis

There may be a lot of beautiful places that we can go into but Pinto Art Museum can be classified as one of the best. It was actually my first time to go to this museum that’s why I am very thankful to our Professor in Hum13 for giving us the opportunity to visit such a nice place.

However, he puts a sensational yellow light that opens hopefully in the distance, splashing the edge of the mists and the boats mainsail. The right side of the diagonal is more darkened, yet to be washed in the light, a striking illustration of Rembrandt's chiaroscuro style. This artwork illustrates the power of nature and the helplessness of man in its force.
