Explanation:
"The Bridge at Argenteuil and the Seine" is the title of a painting (oil on canvas) by the French painter Gustave Caillebotte, dated 1885.
The image is rather realistic-looking, and this is thanks to the stroke pattern and colors used in the piece. The curves of the bridge and the water create a sense of movement which, again, makes the image realistic.
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres was a French neoclassical
painter and the acknowledged leader of the neoclassical school in France. He
was a talented painter and draftsman known for his smooth textures in paintings
and drawings. The texture was so smooth that even appeared to be illusionistic.
