Good Essay On Sheep And Lambs By Heinrich Johann Von Zugel

Set in the countryside, this painting of the sheep and the lamb gathered around the young girl exposes us to the simplicity that still becomes part of the world of today. Not only does the girl in the painting show concern and love for her animals rather the animals too reciprocate the same feeling by acting playfully with her and also with each other.
The brown colors of the bench and of the hay and the sheep and lamb themselves, gives a feeling of autumn, a time when there is very little color in the environment. The use of the same colors also makes the painting a little less happy than it would have been otherwise. There is also a great contrast in between the bright and the dark regions of the painting which adds to its vividness and takes the spectator into the scene that he/she is witnessing.
The beauty of the painting is also due to the great extent of sharpness held therein because of which, every crease in the fabric that the girl is wearing is quite evident, and there is no confusion whatsoever about what the artist wants us to see in the art.
Standing in a museum of a metropolitan city, the painting seems a little out of place, but because of the same quality, it also exposes the audience to a culture that exists in another part of the world. The same conditions also make it evident how much difference there is in between the cities of the world and the countryside. It tells us how different the lives of people in the two areas could be from one another.
The same quality of the painting could disappoint a few because of the contrast while others could also take the hope of the differences that exist in the same world and how simply being in a different city or a countryside could change the inner feeling for an individual.
