In this conversation we focussed mainly on the subject matter. We analyzed the meaning of the ship and the flag within the historical context in which this work was painted. We also did formal analysis of the painting, how dark and gloomy it is, and how the specific details within the painting relate to this theme. However, we did not do as much formal analysis as we would of liked to. Had we more time, we would have analyzed more the relationship between foreground and background, the indiscriminate framing of the picture, and the use of horizontal and vertical lines.
