こんにちは!! XD My name is Blaire, and I'll be talking about a piece of art done by a man named Goya, man without an "ism". I am researching a certain piece done by him called, " The Third of May", This piece shows victims being shot by a firing squad. I chose this piece because the colours are very moving and show excellent expression. The point of view is obviously the man with the bright white shirt; raising his hand in the air makes him stick out even more. The other people around him have darker faces so it's hard to see their expressions, but you can tell that they are trying to hide. Goya purposely didn't show the fire squads expressions, since the main point is the victims.
The piece is well balanced, with brightness on one side and everything else is dark. People, when they first look at the piece, will see the man with the bright white shirt. The dark night sky is a great effect; also, the castle in the background is somewhat dull because it's giving the effect of being far away. The shading could have been brighter and darker in places, but keep in mind that Goya's style is much different from other artists. He sends messages to others through his art about war, democracy and things that bothered him or are currently happening right now.
The statement is about freedom, it shows people against their will, and thus getting shot by a gun squad. I will always enjoy Goya's work especially about how he shows many messages, colours that show how he is feeling, and the people in his art's thinking. I hoped you liked my report!~ さようなら。
