This painting, 'The Allegory of Sight', is drawn by Jan Brueghel the Elder and Peter Paul Rubens. It was in c1618 and the type of art was oil wood. I am convinced that this piece of art is from the Renaissance and it shows what was happening during that time. There are some new art techniques to make it realistic. For examples, there are focal points, which are a woman and a baby angel. The artist made viewers to converge the center of activity. Also background and shadow are quite clear and easy to grasp the point of this art. More other art techniques made viewers to represent things as they really are treatment of forms, colors, space and so on. These made it extremely realistic. This evidence shows about life because, in Middle Ages, their art techniques were really simple and not interesting at all. Yet this art tells how they were developed. This picture also has some connections with other areas in terms of changes and developments during Renaissance. For an illustration, it is the same as music because the Renaissance also created music about God and other Bible figures but later they started focusing on themselves, human. In the same vein, arts started being drawn about human, instead of concentrating on only God or Bible stories. That is why the Renaissance could create and develop more and more.
