Tomasso Masaccio "Crucifixion" 1426
Emphasis- The emphasis of this photo is on the scene going on with Jesus. Symbolism- Masaccio did not just paint whatever he saw in this piece.

The fact that the light is very bright near Jesus, and the shadow below the man kneeling seems to convey that the light of Jesus is shining down on him. Balance- Masaccio uses balance in this photo. He places one person on each side of the photo next to Jesus. Contrast- Masaccio uses contrast in his color choices of the peoples clothing in this painting. He uses a dark color (blue) and two bright colors orange and red.
 * Pattern**- Masaccio uses pattern in the round ring on the left in the background. The ring on the left has leaves bound together in several rows. These leaves appear to look like a wreath.
