In Pieter Bruegel's painting "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus," the central element from Ovid's story is Icarus's fall itself, symbolizing the consequences of hubris. However, Bruegel chooses to depict this event as a minor incident in the background, emphasizing the indifference of the surrounding world. The focus is on the daily lives of the farmers and fishermen, suggesting that human struggles and labor continue regardless of individual tragedies. This contrast highlights themes of human existence and the fleeting nature of individual ambition.
In Season 4 of "Sex and the City," Samantha buys Richard a painting titled "The Three Hearts." This artwork symbolizes their complicated relationship, highlighting themes of love and emotional connection. The painting becomes a significant element in their storyline throughout the season.
Renaissance painters in Flanders, such as Jan van Eyck and Pieter Bruegel the Elder, produced work that was characterized by meticulous detail, vibrant color, and a focus on realism, similar to their Italian counterparts. However, they often emphasized everyday life and landscapes, integrating complex symbolism and a sense of texture in their oil paintings. This regional style blended naturalism with a strong narrative element, setting it apart from the more idealized forms found in Italy.
-explosive colors and impulsive brushwork -color/art generates its own artistic energy - sketchy brushwork, and wildly arbitrary colors create a harsh and dissonant effect -some have themes of modern urban alienation

In "Echo and Narcissus," the supernatural element is central to the story's theme of unrequited love and punishment from the gods. Echo's cursed voice and Narcissus being doomed to fall in love with his own reflection are both consequences of divine intervention. In "Daedalus and Icarus," the supernatural element is more about the creation of the wax wings and the labyrinth designed by Daedalus. The focus is on the ingenuity and craftsmanship of Daedalus rather than supernatural punishment. The tragic ending where Icarus flies too close to the sun is more a consequence of human arrogance and ignorance than direct divine intervention.

• Size: Remember to take a look at the actual size of the painting and try to visualize it that big rather than the size of the photo on your computer screen.• Shape: Does the shape of the canvas (landscape or portrait) suit the subject matter? For example, a very long and thin canvas can add to the drama of a landscape.• Artist's Statement: Has the artist achieve their stated aim? Do you agree with their statement or interpretation of their painting, remembering that what the artist intends and what the viewer sees aren't always the same thing.• Title of the Painting: What is the title of the painting? What does it tell you about the painting and how does it guide your interpretation? Think about how you might have interpreted the painting if it had been called something else.• Subject Matter: What is the painting of? Is it unusual, unexpected, controversial or intriguing? Does it lend itself to comparison to work by a famous painter? Do you understand the symbolism in the painting?• Emotional Response: Does the painting generate an emotional reaction in you? What is the overall mood of the painting, and is this suitable for the subject?• Composition: How have the elements of the painting been placed? Does your eye flow across the whole painting or does one element selfishly dominate? Is the main focus of the painting slap-bang in the center of the painting (both vertically and horizontally), or off to one side? Is there anything that draws your eye into or across the painting? Also consider whether it's been slavishly copied from reality or from a photograph rather than thought put into which elements were included?• Skill: What level of technical skill does the artist display, making allowance for someone who's just starting out and someone who's an experienced artist? A beginner may not have been technically skillful in every element of their painting, but there's usually some aspect that's worth highlighting for the way it was dealt with and the potential it demonstrates.• Medium: What was used to create the painting? What has the artist done with the possibilities presented by their choice of medium?• Color: Has color been used realistically or used to convey emotion? Are the colors warm or cool and do they suit the subject? Has a restricted or monochrome palette been used (see the Monochrome Painting Project)? Have complementary colors been used in the shadows and are there reflected colors (colors 'bouncing' from one object onto another)?• Texture: It's extremely hard to see texture of a painting on a web page, but it's something that should be considered when looking at a painting in "real life".
