The Fall of the Rebel Angels, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, 1562, From the collection of: Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium

The Abduction of Europa, Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, 1632, From the collection of: The J. Paul Getty Museum

The Ambassadors, Hans Holbein the Younger, 1533, From the collection of: The National Gallery, London
The red against the green background gives a wonderful vibrant and vivd color to the whole entire painting. The colors really bring the viewers eyes directly on the two people.
George Washington, Gilbert Stuart, 1797, From the collection of: The White House

I chose this painting because because I feel as if the focus is more on the scenery because the background is colorful but the people are in bland colors.
Landscape with Saint John on Patmos, Nicolas Poussin (French, 1594–1665), 1640, From the collection of: The Art Institute of Chicago

Boys herding donkeys, Willem Maris, 1865, From the collection of: Kunstmuseum
I chose this painting because it seems like the artist really wanted the focus on the people and horse. He did this by putting more vivid colors in front and a bland grey sky in the back.
Lunar Roving Vehicle, Ham, Myung Su, 2009, From the collection of: Korean Art Museum Association
