The details reveal that
the nature of this image is keeping evil away from the good as well as a
mysterious town full of secrets. It also reveals a feeling of sad emotions and
some chill because the town is reclusive. The reason why I say this is because there is a hill on the right side and a black figure on the
left side in which the town is in between both with no other town around. As you
can see the town is quaint because it look like a camp and it isn’t a city
meaning that the town is peaceful. It is also peaceful because there are no
people walking around but they're awake because there is light inside of their
houses. Probably because the people want to be alert in case evil
comes to their town. These secrets make me interpret that it is the evil that the
town doesn’t want to talk about because of trepidation.
Another
reason why I said it was a quaint town because it has a steeple and a church in
which I interpret that everyone revolves around it. This reminded me of back in
the days where the church had authority. I can also tell that the steeple is
lined up with the black figure probably telling it that it has more power and it
is the item that will protect them. The black figure that I interpret as the
dark side or a burnt tree is a sign of evil because it’s a pariah to the entire
town. Through these observations, the image represents that the good prevail
over the evil and that the town people have fear and because of this they are
wide awake at night as well as have a steeple that will protect them. It also means taking a risk by getting to know this evil side because they live by it and that they should establish peace.
Before reading your response I never thought of the painting as a battle between good and evil, but after looking at the image up close I started to question if the tree was actually so far away from the town because if you look the painting there is a house right next to the tree.
ReplyDeleteI really like your view because you open my eyes! View between good and evil puts a twist on the acclaimed serene painting
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you kept relating to what you found was the main idea.I also like the way you stayed on the main idea you found in the painting. I enjoyed the way you kept the read easy to read without any spelling mistakes. The way you made you point easy to understand and kept proving it. I like how you explained your reasons.
