French artist, Jean-Baptiste Simeon Chardin (1699-1779) was a master at painting still life subjects. Chardin painted in a realistic style and was known for his use of color and light. The above painting is, The Attributes of the Arts (1766). The compositional structure is a triangle; often seen in still life paintings. The head of the statue is at the top of the triangle. This is an important visual location. The light source is on the left and results in depth and color. Chardin turned ordinary subjects into wonderful art with his compositions, colors and light.
