Question

Name this painting and its artist. What type of perspective has the artist created? Explain how you came to your conclusion.

Answer 1

The painting is called The Night Café, by Vincent van Gogh. Answer will vary but may include the following: Van Gogh has used two point perspective to create depth and movement in this painting. One perspective, or vanishing point, lead off to the right-hand side, above the table, to the wall. The lines of the pool table and tables most prominently lead to the first vanishing point. The second vanishing point is on the left, and seems to travel up to the ceiling corner. Again the furniture lead our eye, as well as the lines on the floor.

Answer 2
