The Market Square in Banuyls-sur-Mere is a 1907 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white image shows a quiet village square with a few people walking. A large, dark tree stands on the left, while buildings with simple roofs fill the background. In the center, a covered market stall hides its contents in shadow. The grainy, faded look suggests this might be an old photo rather than a painting. The shadows under the tree and buildings create strong contrasts. Next, check out chiaroscuro to learn how artists use light and dark for drama.
