answerowen jones;

the answer is counterpoint.

counterpoint definition: "the art or technique of playing a melody or melodies in conjunction with another, according to fixed rules."

counterpoint is present in a lot of baroque music- such as bach (notably his wtc prelude and fugues) and scarlatti, but can also be found in music by mozart, beethoven. it can even be found in music as modern as john williams!

name the above painting and its artist. how has the artist used balance, variety, and movement in this piece to emphasize the man waving the cloth, in the upper right-hand corner? be specific in your response.
