Musical Angel By Rosso Fiorentino (1520)
This painting uses the pyramidal structure to focus the eye, going from the angel's face to his hand strumming the mandolin then toward his hand on the neck of the mandolin and back to his face. The angel has a very somber feel that is common with most high renaissance art. I like this piece, because it also has a relaxing feel. Like other high renaissance paintings, a dark background is used to cause the foreground character to stand out.
