is at first glance a precisely-ordered grid of rectangles and curved shapes that lie flat against the picture plane. The painting was done on a medium of oil on canvas. Looking closely‚ objects described in terms of basic geometric forms become visible: upon a table rests an electric light‚ a book‚ a domino‚ and an adjustable lamp. On the shelf sits a footed glass.

Upon her belly is a devilish looking imp creature that would be considered a "demon" that is plaguing her dreams and turning them into nightmares. Another

Symmetry makes a place or painting balanced. In the reading‚ I choose to analyze figure 6 which is St. Michael Weighing Souls. In the painting‚ you can tell it has a lot of symmetry present. When a painting isn’t balanced well enough you can feel a sense of unbalancedness or one side being too heavy. Either by have too much on the other side or not enough. But in figure six you don’t feel that heaviness anywhere because it is well balanced. For example in the painting of St. Michael Weighing Souls
