Out of Character

This work of art is called Pines of the Villa Barberini by John Gadsby. It is made from oil on a canvas in America in 1856 during the impressionist era. Trees, human organisms and the environment are the aspects of the natural world that are depicted in this image. This image is interesting to me because of the discrepancy in the picture. At first look we see a bunch of very tall trees and extremely small human organisms. Maybe the author is trying to display how the environment is greater than the people. It relates to our course because it is expressing the way living organisms are organized into environmental communities and how ecosystems within these biomes operate. This image does not reflect human degradation on the environment or of nature.
