This is not a very famous painting, but it grabbed my attentions right away. The reason why this painting grabbed my attention while I was wandering through the Internet because of it's painting Techniques, is the oil painting. This art work here is oil on panel, and the subject matter of this painting was took place back in the seventeenth century,which is one of the reason why I chose this painting. I love this painting so much, for it's style, colors, subject matters and technique of this painting. Great paintings like that usually worth seven digits prize, and very easy to burn into my mind. As you can see from the picture above, the texture is obviously very smoother, and the shapes that the artists chose to put on this painting were both geometric and organic. The sharp edges of the stele are the perfect example of geometric shapes. The wheels of the car are organic shapes. Lines in this painting are finely thin, and with both straight and curve. Green color of the trees are the majority coloring of this painting, we call this type if color cool color. In the center of the painting, there is a spot where warm color took place, are the nobles riding on a carriage and horses. A beautiful scene of a horse-drawn carriage riding through the park that was surrounded with trees had appeared perfectly in the painting.
Lets talk about the balance of this painting. Starts with the horizontal balance, by just looking at the painting for the very first moment, I already can tell it not balance. The heavy colors stuck on the top of the painting, and leaving the light color of the sand at the bottom. Same thing happen with the vertical balance. It is so obvious that the right side is heavier than the left side. The focal point of the painting is the carriage, and it is facing the left; showing a direction toward the left side of the painting. If look a little bit closer, the red umbrella that the lady was holding really stood out because of it redness color. I think the artist was trying to show the beauty of human in the nature. The whole scene gave me a really peaceful and warm because the subjects that the artist chose were perfectly matched. This showed the sign of harmony.
