The seaport depicted in this<br />
painting is not of a specific<br />
place but merely just a<br />
landscape painting upon<br />
which Claude has<br />
demonstrated his<br />
meticulous technique for<br />
painting the sky.<br />
In this painting the<br />
orthoganals can be seen<br />
at the waters edge and<br />
on the buildings. This is<br />
then echoed on the right<br />
hand side of the painting<br />
with th alignment of the<br />
boats.<br />
In this painting Claude<br />
has created his horizon<br />
line a third up the canvas<br />
this leaves a vast amount<br />
of space for him to paint<br />
the sun setting in the<br />
background and use<br />
atmospheric perspective<br />
to create depth. In this<br />
painting you can also see<br />
the use of one point<br />
perspective where the<br />
orthoganals lead the<br />
viewers eye towards the<br />
sun.<br />
In this painting Claude has depicted many figures in the foreground talking and interacting with one another. The<br />
foreground of the painting is made up of a small slither of land before the waters edge. Claude has used a technique<br />
called repoussior which brings the painting into the viewers space. He has created this by bringing the land right up to<br />
the edge of the canvas which makes the viewer feel as if they could step into the painting.
