Description
The light created this golden door on the wall, which might have been an open to mysterious worlds.
Before the period of Renaissance, paintings hardly showed the concept of three-dimension give people a one flat plane feeling with several squeezed layers. There was no depth. Looking back, some of us would probably hardly be convinced that people before did not have the idea of the "space". They saw what was in front of their eyes, they painted it down simply being faithful to their eyes. The idea of three-dimensional space itself has been gradually evolved for thousands of years, There was no solid feeling therefore people didn't have a great emphasis on the light and shadow which are two essential elements forming gradation, creating the "space"
Much of the emotion in a painting is achieved from the sensitive use of light in the subject. Without its effects paintings often look flat and bland yet it is something that many artists find quite daunting.The Impressionists pioneered the use of light in painting as they attempted to capture light as seen from the human eye. Edgar Degas, Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Camille Pissaro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, were all involved in the Impressionist movement.
By recreating the sensation in the eye that views the subject, rather than recreating the subject, and by creating a welter of techniques and forms, Impressionism became seminal to various movements in painting which would follow.
