“Every art should become science, and every science should become art,” (Heinrich von Schlegel). I think that this quote relates to comparing art and considering that comparing art is a science. All the colors that the artists used on both of the paintings were both different than each other. The Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo de Vinci didn’t have incredibly countless colors compared to Starry Night which was painted by Vincent van Gogh. Gogh’s Starry Night used mostly blue with hints of yellow,…
