Also, the individuals in this painting are not communicating with each other or making any eye contact perhaps because they also have different beliefs and cannot relate to one another.
Berth Morisot was a French paintmaker and painter, who was associated with impressionism. Born into a family of a government official who was supportive of the arts she was able to openly practice her passion to paint. Through her painting The Basket Chair, she demonstrates her remarkable style of rough to light brush strokes that create a sense of realism in this piece. She was one of the few female painters of her time. The subject matter of her piece is not as interesting as that of Gustave Caillebotte’s

Philosopher Alain De Botton uses Vincent Van Gough to persuade his audiences into seeing and embracing our environments so that we can full understand the extent of their impact on society/us, “It was for Van Gogh the mark of every great painter to allow us to see certain aspects of the world more clearly” this evaluative statement highlights De Botton's and Van Gough's attempt to convince the respondents of their neglectfulness to their elements in their travels and everyday lives. As Van Gough’s distinct style of representing forms expresses his emotions of society, “Artists could paint a portion of the world and in consequence open the eyes of others to it”, said by Alain De Botton suggests that artists eyes are open to the world and it is those that we see it through.

Johannes shows humbleness in his response to Griet; admitting he learned from her and he has some degree of respect for her artistic judgment.
While these changes could have been viewed as negative, the artist chose to see them as beautiful. He chooses everyday to believe that what nature does to his sculptures not only makes them remarkable, but completes the
Jean Baptiste Colbert and Anne R.J. Turgot couldn’t be more different from one another; most obviously, one subscribed to mercantilist philosophies, while the other subscribed to Physciocratic ideals, respectively. Jean Baptiste Colbert’s life started from meek beginning. He worked his way to the top, and along the way he engulfed himself in the culture and ideals of the French establishment (feudalism -> mercantilism) and would later became widely recognized for representing “the heart and soul of mercantilism.” Colbert was an arch-nationalist and believed in strict government regulation of businesses and professions. He believed you must force a nation’s labor force into professions that benefit the nation: agriculture, trade, war.
