the far away buildings and the close up gondolas. The gondolas appear to be larger then the buildings in the background but actually aren’t, it’s just painted to look that way. If you look at the right hand side of the painting, it appears as if the buildings are growing smaller. The angle makes it appear this way. There is more detail on the closer up buildings because in real life you can see more detail the closer you are. This helps the depth of the picture, making it seem more life like and 3D. As if you were looking down a river.  On the left hand side of the page you can see the shadows, making the sun on the right hand side too. This is why the left hand side is lighter. It also helps show that in between the buildings the shadow of the previous building is showing. This helps it appear more 3D and real. This piece is very realistic and in proportion. The perspective is shown very well and good tone is used.  The buildings are in scale and single point perspective is used, meaning that the picture is only looked at from one angle.
