During chapter three's reading there was a picture that surprised me. The portrait is called the The Oxbow and was done by Thomas Cole. I thought that this picture was really well painted and was well thought up of. One reason why I thought that this picture stood out to me compared to the others was that it could make people think in two different ways. This picture could look like it is the calm before the storm or the opposite, the sunlight after the storm. The second reason why I was attracted to this picture was that the two opposite factors, chaos and peace, was seperated by a bow shaped curve, instead of a straight line. I thought that in most contrasting pictures two factors are seperated right in the middle by a straight veritcal line. The bow shaped curve in this picture made this picture look so much more beautiful.
The second painting that caught my eyes was called the The Garden of Earthly Delights, which was done by Hieronymus Bosch. This picture at first looked like a picture of paradise, but as soon as I started looking deeper into the picture and payed attention to the detail it looked very weird. All the figures that looked like people were all mutated and are in weird motion. But even though this picture does look a little unappealing to me, I still thought that this picture was great, because this picture shows how imaginitive Bosch is. The fantasy in this picture is very creative.
