This picture shows a lone figure walking alone in a desert. Behind him, a crowd of people stands on a hill, watching. The sky is bright with puffy clouds, and the ground is a mix of dark and light tones. The big contrast between the dark figure and the bright sky makes the scene feel dramatic. The crowd in the background looks like they’re watching something important happen. If you like this style, check out Impressionism.
