Light with Art

Rembrandt

There is a directional light from the window on to the man sitting in the chair. This light illuminates the stairs but not the entire room despite how bright it looks from the window, there is a second light coming from the fireplace in the lower right of the picture that then illuminates the arm, chest and head of a second man.

Grie


This image is seemingly two images merged together, this means light not only has to come from beyond the mountains but also through the nearly complete window. The light is coming from the center, and it illuminates this valley & river in dull grey colour. The mountains in the distant do reflect some light but only with the center area.

Grie


The light is coming from the left, it looks to be about late afternoon. There is a large mass of dark clouds, this means the entire area is not illuminated to the full amount that it could be. There is a huge shadow on the ground from the castle, sharp at the bottom of the castle and gets fuzzier at the top. The light is reflected quite well, it brightens this landscape as well as showing the sheer vastness of the perception.
