Answer 1

So, is this a test question or maybe part of an art history final? This will get you started.......

Jan Brueghel the Elder (1568 - 1625)
-naturalism
-employment of a more realistic viewpoint with a stronger horizontal emphasis, distinct color-scheme and subject matter complemented by minute detailing
-wedge-shaped composition in which the road veers to one side while the water leads the viewer into the distance
-framed on either side by houses and dense woods
-placement of wagons and riders moving in opposite directions on the road underscores the illusion of depth
-the vibrant color pattern follows Brueghel’s usage, favoring brown tones in the foreground, green in the mid-ground with a blue background ending in distant blue mountains merging with the sky
-the everyday reality of a Flemish village into a painted ideal.
