The Arts; Drawing

Title: The Arts Drawing

Artist: Gaspare Traversi

Date: 1755

Movement: Italian Rococo

Medium: Oil on canvas

Genre: Genre painting

To continue from the extersize yesterday in how paintings lead their viewers visually through out the painting, let’s take a look here.

The painting naturally leads our eyes in a circular motion back to the woman in the center with a pink dress. We naturally start with her as she is contrasted with her bright pastel dress and skin tones against the dark vibrant background. From there we follow her gaze to the man sitting across from her, and then we go to the man in red, who’s robe leads us down to the floor where we follow the dog and the light line to the man and the child, back again to the woman in the dress.
