I had visited the High Art Museum in Atlanta on November 15. I decided to write on the art piece The Sea From Capri because that had caught my eye. The painting was born in the year of 1875. The painter is the American William Stanley Haseltine; he lived from 1835 to 1900. The painting is available for viewing in the High Arts Museum on the third level in the Stent Family Wing in gallery 301. The size of piece is 41 1/4 x 72 7/8 inches on a canvas.
The painting is a breathing taking view of a stunning mountain reflected by light over layering the crystal ocean. The sky is beautiful arranged with clouds pink. Rocks from the ocean border the mountain. In the far background sits a large town. In the town, there are many little homes and there is a larger building with a dome on top. Rotating the town is trees flooded from the cliff to the homes of the far back town. Before your eyes lead to that, there is a closer and where more light is attracted to village. There are two skinny trees closely visible. There are multiple, fine sized cactus’ surrounding the trees. You can …show more content…
I can tell it’s where the artist wants us to look at because that is the lightest point of the painting and where everything takes you. What I mean by saying where it takes you to is where our eyes get drawn to and lines lead.
The pink clouds set the tone and temperature. The sun is preparing to set down. It’s difficult to tell because the tine of the sky and sea are slightly off key. The ocean looks cool and energetic while is sky is calm and warm. I guess the sea it also starting to shift it way to calming down along with the sky.
There are mostly organic forms in the piece. This gives off extinct, brilliant detail. The small village in the far background represents life. It tells us that this mountain cliff is visited almost daily and adored by its neighbors and
