art history
The Neo-classical and Romantic artists had a lot of compositional and emotional intents. One of the compositional tools used was the triangle, how Watson, the shark, and the man holding the dagger/harpoon. The triangle was used to draw the eye to the main subjects. Another compositional too is how the light sky contrasts the dark sea and the men all wearing dark clothes, although Watson is nude and his skin is very light and contrasts well with the darker blue of the sea. This painting is emotional because there is a man about to be attacked by a shark, and you can tell how the other men are trying to save Watson from the shark.
