Art Two - painting before 1850

The paintings below were created before 1850 (and before the wide use of the camera).  What are your thoughts?

  1. These paintings are very unique. I especially like the first one because of how much detail it holds. All these paintings are very realistic and have lots of character.

  2. these paintings are very impressive in detail especially since they were created before cameras and i like the use of light and shadows it makes them more dramatic.

  3. it is extremely impressive that the artists could capture such vivid images in paintings just based of what they have seen o observed as opposed to staring at a picture of it and copying

  4. It is really interesting how the artist manipulates the light, because now, with cameras, light tends to be treated very realistically, but in these the light is used very purposefully.

  5. I really like these paintings, they use lots of shading which makes everything look super realistic
