Looking closely at realism
Realist paintings reward attention to light, surfaces and spatial relationships. Compare the depicted subject with the artist's choices of framing, viewpoint and scale.
Architecture and place
Look at the geometry of a building, the edges of a roadway or the meeting of land and sky. Notice how the composition guides the eye and how light changes the character of a familiar setting.
Detail and illusion
Compare sharply described passages with softer transitions, and look for differences in reflected light, texture and atmosphere. In still lifes, consider how objects and painted images relate to each other.
Scale and viewing
