Sheep and Goats
1655
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Dominant colour
Sheep and Goats is a 1655 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows a quiet forest scene with two people and a group of sheep and goats. The person on the left sits under a tree, leaning on a staff, while the person on the right lies on the grass, wrapped in a blanket. The animals rest around them, some grazing, others lying down. In the background, a stone wall and more trees fade into the distance. The lighting is soft, with shadows under the tree and around the people, giving a calm, shaded feel. The photo looks like it was taken in a natural setting, with no signs of modern life. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro for more on how light and shadow work in photos and art.
