When I went to the Getty museum, I found a few landscape paintings that were interesting. One of them was called "Mountain Landscape With Peasants in a Clearing Near a Waterfall" by Anthonie Waterloo. It consisted of a large mountain landscape with various trees and cliffs, with two peasants in the corner. This was interesting because the entire picture was in black and white, except the peasants. In my opinion, Waterloo wanted the viewer to focus on the peasants, so they could see the contrast between the people and the surroundings. I think he wanted to show that the people in the landscape do not belong there, which is why they don't blend in with their surroundings.
