**//2 Pieces of Art Assignment //** Paolo Veronese "The Wedding at Cana", 1563 //Reason //: I like the “School of Athens” look by having like a million people in it. I really like the detail in the buildings and the expressions of the people; it’s a very nice, vibrant painting.

//Balance //: With the abundance of people in this piece, it seems like it would be difficult to keep it from leaning heavily on one side as far as the amount of “stuff” your eye is attracted to yet it is executed perfectly here. //Emotion //: You can see the chemistry between people, like 50 little scenes are happening. //Contrast//: Though it isn't particularly a light-dark contrast, you can plainly see the difference in the clothes of the people being neutral colors of red, yellow, and blue to the bright, bright colors of radiating sky and clouds. //Depth //: You can plainly see the difference in perception from the “front row people” to the far away statue, church, and clouds. This is particularly apparent in the tables on the left and right sides of the piece. //Focal Point //: The guy in the orange and blue robe with yellow color around his head is the focal point; because he is the only person facing directly face forward. Also, being in the center, he seems to be the reason all of those people are there in the first place. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Pieter Bruegel "The Triumph of Death", 1562 //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Reason //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">: It’s a really cool oil painting (a new medium for the time), I like the effect it has and the message it clearly portrays. Also, the skeletons are pretty cool so it gets a higher grade just for having them. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;"> //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Detail //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">: There is plainly of detail here, with all of the people, to the casket, and the hills. Everyone seems to be doing their own thing whether it is being dead, being religious, or riding a horse. //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Symbolism //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">: A lot of stuff is going on in this piece all symbolic of how the plague killed everything not discriminating by class (peasants, soldiers, kings are all dying). //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Perspective //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">: The massacres can clearly be seen getting smaller in size as the painting creates an illusion of depth. You can see the rioting people in the middle of painting becoming just circles. //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Emphasis //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">: There seems to be a big emphasis on the pile of people a little to the right in the painting, their clothes are more brightly colored (bright yellows and whites) and the sheer amount of people and their size bring your eye over to it. //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Emotion //<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">: You can see the terror-stricken devastation in the people being tortured and the skeletons nonchalant attitude towards doing the inevitable.
