Artwork Description:
The red room is a painterly depiction of the gallery of the classical Museum of Art, filled with the paintings of the Italian Renaissance. The calm, meditative mood is supported by the positions and poses of the museum audience, who are patiently looking at the works of art. Nothing distracts them from absorbing great art. The colors of this painting are dark red, brown, and black, and only the lights are accented by the soft brushstrokes of beige and creamy white.
