After completing an assignment on this artwork. I realized that history artworks are really in depth in every detail of their artwork. Like the artwork above for instance, all the elements are designed to give emphasis on the white shirt figure. The soldiers create implied lines facing him, the colours used on him are the most contrast in the artwork. Moreover, this particular artwork is very renowned during its time. In fact, this artwork was so inspiring that it influenced the other creations of artworks.
