A portrait of Henry the Eighth. A realistic painting of a man on horseback. Although the two portraits shown are different, what overall message do they have in common?
a.
Both portraits show significance. The portrait on the left shows this by spreading the figure across the canvas, while the other shows the man’s superiority over even a large beast, such as a horse.
b.
The artists have painted each figure with exaggerated features and overall size, in order to display their powerful presence and create a division between them and common people.
c.
Both portraits show the men as superior leaders and powerful figures, which was accomplished by the artist ensuring the figures were the main focal point.
d.
All of the above are true.
