Blue Chaise Longe

Oil painting of a grand interior. The variations of light in a fine interior have attracted artists and tested their skill since the Interior genre was invented by the Dutch painters in the seventeenth century. In this picture the eye travels unimpeded through the first room to the fireplace in the second, which is the real point of focus. had it been elsewhere, the picture would have lacked unity, or, as painters say, would have failed to come together
