At the museum, we focused on the actual image – what we saw, the details in the painting, the sunlight and dark shadows. We also discussed the historical context in the creation of the painting. We did not discuss the purpose why this picture was painted, what the artist’s intent was in creating this image, and who the audience was supposed to be. If we had more time, we probably would’ve talked more about why it was in the museum and why it was a significant work of art at the time that it was created.
