Comparison Of Three Fishermen And The Summer

Art has an important role in human life and it has an important meaning in day-to-day human life to influence the importance of the world’s beauty, nature, and art pieces. As humans, one of the most things we take for granted is our ability to see things or have a sensual feeling towards something we feel attracted to for example when we see an artwork, or a rose, or even when we see the sun set. This paper will look at two incredible artworks the Three Fishermen and the Summer, produced by Scott Fraser and Giuseppe Arcimboldo. We will critically examine two respective artists on their artwork and find their differences and similarities of their use of elements, principles of their design, and medium in their artwork so that people can gain
