In this painting Spitzweg<br />
has painted a simple<br />
middle class man in a<br />
garden reading the<br />
newspaper. This subject<br />
matter was common for<br />
Spitzweg, he enjoyed<br />
painting the middle class<br />
engaging in their hobbies.<br />
In the foreground Spitzweg has used repoussior<br />
with the use of cropping the steps. This repoussior<br />
pulls the viewer into the painting. This technique<br />
makes the viewer feel the mood and atmosphere<br />
of the painting, this along side with the sun and the<br />
mans stance calms the viewer.<br />
This painting depicts a<br />
cropped composition.<br />
The man is the centre of<br />
attention for this painting<br />
as he is framed by the<br />
wall to the left and the<br />
tree to the right. This<br />
painting is a closed<br />
composition as the wall<br />
in the background brings<br />
the painting to a halt.<br />
The atmosphere in this painting also feels relaxed<br />
because Spitzweg has showed no suggestions to<br />
things moving rapid and quickly. In this painting it<br />
shows a person living in the moment and not<br />
worrying about rushing around as time passes.<br />
The stance in which the man is stood reflects the<br />
atmosphere created by the lighting in the image.<br />
He appears to be content and relaxed, with his<br />
hand in his pocket and shoulders relaxed.
