Serene and idyllic, Brueghel’s river view evokes the spirit of man’s harmonious interaction with nature.

Brueghel exploits this in his view of daily life along the Schedlt river. The sunlit river is the subject of this narrative scene that depicts a ferry landing just outside the city of Antwerp (identified by the cathedral in the distance).

This work is painted on copper, which was a popular medium for Brueghel and for many other Dutch and Flemish painters. Because oil paints can’t “sink into” copper like they do on canvas, they create a smooth and highly luminous surface.

In a letter to a friend he wrote “I'm sick of Portraits and wish very much to...walk off to some sweet Village where I can paint Landskips [landscapes]”

The work also includes drawing with charcoal, something the artist would abandon as she came to rely on paint alone to make shape. Frankenthaler developed and refined this technique in acrylic, which lent itself to pouring and drying more successfully than oil.

The scene is viewed from above, as if from a theater box, and the top half of Degas’s composition depicts the wings, where the dancers from the corps de ballet can be seen waiting for their moment to go on stage.

At left, butterfly-winged Horae, female figures representing the hours and seasons, react in horror as the cycles they represent are disrupted by the accident.

Like Picabia’s painting, Kandinsky’s improvisation is not entirely abstract.

At the center is a pair of sailing ships locked in combat, their tall masts appearing as slender black lines. Cannons blast as the ships are tossed upon turbulent waves.
