28. Emphasis by Contrast (list type of contrast you select)

The Adoration of the Christ Child

Emphasis by contrast can be seen in many many ways such as the value in an image, the size of objects or people in an image, the irregularity of a shape in an image, or an opposite positioning of an object in an image than others in the same image. In this painting, baby Jesus is the obvious focal point not only because he is in the center of two adults, but also because of his small size compared to their large size.
