The Allegory of Sight

The Allegory of Sight was painted in c. 1618 by Jan Brueghel the Elder. It was painted with oil on canvas. I think this Painting is a reflection of what was going on during the renaissance because during the renaissance there has a major shift in art. Art is shown through the paintings and sculptors all around the room. More styles and rules were made. More artists started experimenting with art. It also shows the development in technology through the telescope and different instruments all over the floor. During the renaissance many people explored many aspects of life. There were many more explorers that traveled around the world as shown in the globe. Both these help represent exploration in the renaissance. Overall this painting reflects the renaissance because it represents the development during the renaissance and it shows different parts that were developed.
