The art piece I chose is Landscape with the Fall of Icarus by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. This medium of this painting is an oil on canvas. This type of medium is also painted on linen‚ thus allowing the oil paint to be better absorbed with just thin layers of color called glazes.

Another aspect of the oil medium is that it creates a luminosity and smooth effect
