This 2D painting I have selected from The Metropolitan Museum Art gallery. This painting is known as “The Environs of Paris” by Camille Corot (French, Paris 1796–1875 Paris).The medium of this painting is oil on wood. The subject is a view of the rue Brancas near the artist’s home at Ville-d’Avray, southwest of Paris, which is visible in the distance.Style of this art is  representational  or naturalistic as it’s something we can see in real life.I am saying it naturalistic because it looks real but not exact like photographs. The emphasis of this piece of art is the sky as it’s bright color is drawing the attention first than any other parts. However, while making shades the artist did an excellent work .This art is linear perspective of one point. It guides my eye to the vanishing point. The lines of  trees both from left and right sides are moving towards a same way that has a single vanishing point. Things that are closer to us seem larger while they get vanished from our view as it goes further and further away. The scale or relative size is different too as the different trees or hills have different shapes. The trees and hills are overlapping at the same time the hills are overlapping the sea as well. The foreground of this painting is the front right part where we can see bunch of trees are situated. Middle ground is the  street  and the background is the sky, all of these together creating space and depth.The horizontal line and the cool colors are making this art calm.
