The outside format of the painting is a horizontal rectangle. The painting is large and is about the size of a 55 inch flat TV screen. The work is realistic with some abstract elements in the painting. The artwork is realistic because the scene resembles the real world where there are sharks‚ boats‚ ships‚ flying fish‚ water‚ sugarcanes‚ ropes and a dark-colored man. But‚ the texture and colors of the water make it abstract and different from the common blue water in the real world because the

And like Courbet‚ he had decided to paint about the social issues going on in France. Because of his social attitudes during this time period the painting would be largely

In Seurat’s painting‚ A Sunday on La Grande Jatte‚ he does a fantastic job depicting people resting and relaxing in a park on an island. The families within the painting seem to be enjoying the scenery around them. One of the key aspects of the painting besides the color contrast is the river that is located on the island.

The images in the background of the painting remain nebulous and dim. The point of focus advances the viewers eyes to the buildings in the background. Caillebotte demonstrates a two-point perspective

The Swing ¡§Inviting¡¨ is the word that comes to mind when I look at the painting The Swing. This masterpiece was Jean-Honore Fragonard¡¦s most famous Rococo piece painted in 1766.

The painting seems to be layered but not with many colors. The painting itself is very neutral in the sense of color schemes. The most prominent color used in this painting is a gray. The fog gives off an eerie feel to the painting. In this work‚ gray is a color but could also be seen as a feeling or emotion in this painting. The gray also allows the figures to stand out more. It makes the color on the figures catch your eye first. This creates a calming factor or cool factor. The painting seems
