the lighting in this painting is great. With it being underwater, the light and dark looks great. This man is seeing something that no one else could see.
Two Watermills and an Open Sluice, Jacob van Ruisdael, 1653, From the collection of: The J. Paul Getty Museum
This painting shows a man made mill running off of nature. The lighting of the clouds and the build sow great contrast.
It appears to be a rough time in this painting. People debating how their going to eat and survive. I believe this because everything is dark besides the people, like they are finding a way to make everything better.
Cleombrotus Ordered into Banishment by Leonidas II, King of Sparta, Benjamin West, 1768, From the collection of: Tate Britain
It appears that this woman just received bad news with the others trying to help her. The light coming around the people with dark on the edges shows great contrast.
The rainbow, Willem Roelofs, 1875, From the collection of: Kunstmuseum
Its clear that a storm as just pasted, that everything is going to get brighter. The darkness in the back and the light by the rainbow looks great, to show contrast in nature.
