Upon the first glance it becomes evident that a great deal of care and attention has gone into the development of such a complex piece as this. The detail throughout is brilliantly structured and allows the viewer to see more than what I’m guessing was originally intended.
The rough quality of the shading provides great depth by creating an effect which is usually found in text books from centuries past. Given the nature of the scenery and how it goes hand in hand with the title and one of its many interpretations, I feel the intention to be well delivered.
I personally see this as a representation of progression and an undying need for achievement, the spiders web would be a key role in this. Every aspect of this piece (though full with a chaotic appearance) provides a peaceful atmosphere with a slight hint of sorrow.
I cannot help but feel overwhelmed when looking at this piece, I observe long enough and its as though it begins to move. Its as though one could reach out and actually take part in the event itself, not an effect easily created I must say.
