I have chosen this painting because the use of saturated colour and emphasised tonality between light and dark makes this piece highly effective at communicating a moment. The contract of cool blue against the lines of golden light creates the unique atmosphere and lighting of being in a field on a warm summers night. I further believe it is successful because the combination of tone and perspective creates an immense sense of depth and dimension at a low angle, drawing the audience in, as if physically
lying next to the figure and being a part of the scene.
