It is very impressive to see the Old Master’s paintings of exquisite silver and brass, as in Andre Bouys painting, La Recureuse (1737), shown here, in which the silver platter is painted so convincingly that it looks real. One might wonder whether it was painted with metallic paint. Not so, however. Rather, the painting is done with regular paints through the sheer power of keen observation.

A horizon line is essential in art because it allows you to control the height of a viewer’s eye as they look at the picture.
