19146501 | To Theodore Rousseau, there is meaning to how Rembrandt draws Aristotle's eyes. The shadows that partially conceal Aristotle's eyes show that he is lost in his thoughts. The eyes usually hint at a person's inner thoughts, but the use of shadows implies that there is a mystery to what Aristotle is feeling at that moment. Rousseau also mentions Rembrandt's use of various brushstrokes and limited use of colors. These art choices are supposed to imply the different moods he felt while he was painting this piece. | 514 |
