The light shining on the face of the soldier dressed in brown casts a shadow on the water in the foreground. This is the same light that is coming from the background and surrounding the center group.

When an artist changes nature, he or she is using a distortion for a particular purpose. What else in the picture seems like an exaggeration of nature?

By making the sky unnaturally bright around General Washington's head and enhancing it with a red, white and blue rainbow, the artist has heightened our emotional reactions to the painting.

Which of the paintings below depicts more than one source of light?
