intentionally chose to portray the landscape with quick‚ loose brush strokes‚ which allow for far less detail and less use of nuanced colors. Van der Haagen’s painting uses the beauty and vastness of nature to show its power when compared to man; Bellows shows man’s defiance of nature’s power through his industrialization.

Blind Beggar I am writing my paper over El-Greco’s Oil painting Healing Blind Bartimaeus‚ a beautiful painting based upon Mark 10:46-47.
