Tonal Framework comparison
Large sky paintings.
| BIDAULD: The sky dominates, but is ignored. The waterfall draws the eye. |
 |
| RUISDAEL: Again the sky is dismissed in favour of the water and building. |
 |
| HACKERT: The weak sky brings one down to the people on the road. |
 |
| BRUEGHEL: The sky leads you away before coming back to the detail of the image. |
 |
| HACKERT: The setting sun dominates. |
 |
| CLAUDE: The sky drops you down to the river and people. |
 |
| CONSTABLE: The sky dominates before the eyes rest on the bright water and then the cart. |
