Supper of Emmaus - Caravaggio 1901

this picture plays a large role of contrast between light and dark, which creates a very realistic and deep moment in the biblical story. the rich red stands out and emphasised greatly to show that sense of importance and royalty. the painting also includes elements of still life, portrait and profile images.


Shepherd's Idyll - François Boucher 1768

this picture plays a role of many elements taken from many styles and forms of art. the fact that a landscape painting consisting with figures in the foreground. By doin, it shifts the traditional motive of a landscape painting into a more conceptual one.



le serment des horaces - David 1784-1785

strong emphasised structure on the figures, creating lots of muscle toned shading which brings out the sense of strength and nobility in the picture. the positioning of the figures is a very strong one as well. perspective within the painting hasnt been greatly shown, mainly looks like a puppet show like theme.. with the figures all aligned in a nearby surrounding



The Wine Harvest - Goya 1786

a hint of still life between the figures in motion during an ordinary day in the fields. their poses are very genuine and very elegent. having the stunning mountain ranges in the back creates a nice and dramatic responce to the painting.
