Two Art Works Compared

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
Bride (1761) there are both similarities and differences. The content of the Kauffmann work is equated with two mother figures and three children. One mother is seated and the other,  as well as the children, are standing and it appears that some are walking toward the seated woman. It is similar to a scene one would see at a mall,  except this is depicted in a beautiful architectural find typical for the time period. The latter picture looks to be about a dozen individuals, where about one or two seem  to be children. The characters are not as clearly defined as obviously, the composition differs due to the number of people in the work. At first glance, Cornelia Pointing to  Her Children as Her Treasures appears bright and airy and pleasant. The Village Bride, by contrast, is truly dark and somewhat frightening. From the title of the first, one  sees that the description of this woman and her children is consistent with the work, but the latter appears to be rather odd. The Village Bride would signify something which  would also a appear pleasant as it infers that someone is getting married. However, the painting that contains a dozen subjects depicts a rather poor situation. One can pick out  the bride when one looks carefully enough, but she is nothing like one would expect a bride to look like today due to her drab appearance. When first looking  at the Kauffmann work, the image is one that provokes contentment and even joy whereas the Greuze painting prompts feelings of fear and depression. It is not clear why the  images would have such an effect--as it could relate to something in a viewers past-- but it is most likely due to the lightness and darkness of the paintings respectively.
