The Allegory of Sight by Jan Breugel the elder

 The painting The Allegory of Sight by Jan Breugel the elder painted during the Renaissance with Oil Paint tells a story. A story of what was happening during the Renaissance because of all the instruments and paintings in the painting itself. The painter is trying to tell a story of life during the Renaissance, in his painting he has included statues, mathematical and scientific instruments, oil paintings and naked religious people. This tells and obvious story, it is showing life during the Renaissance, life of Art and Knowledge; The items included each represent a fact about the Renaissance. During the Renaissance new instruments were created, the painter has included most of the instruments during the Renaissance to point out it was  a time of knowledge. Other then knowledge, Art was pointed out in the Painting. The paintings, the statues and the naked religious people tell what Art was during the Renaissance. The Statues and the paintings point out that Art was everywhere in the Renaissance. The fact that there are so many, gives the illusion that it was very spread and it was the biggest development while then naked people tell that they started to draw religion as naked people. The renaissance is a time of Art and Knowledge as the painter has pointed out in his painting.
