Light~

"Piazza D Italia" - Giorgio de Chirico

 This painting by Chirico relies on lighting to bring the whole piece together. There seems to be little dynamic occlusion in this image; Chirico has kept the intensity of the shadows rather consistent and sharp, which gives the effect that the light source is closer than it probably is intended to be. There is little bounced light as well and in a similar fashion is kept consistent and sharp. This creates a feeling of abstraction and surrealism due to the flat colours.

"Soft Construction With Boiled Beans" - Salvador Dali

The painting above by Dali follows a similar direction to Chirico's, albeit much more realistically. Bounced light is used in various parts of the painting to render some of the surrealistic flesh, however, as the shadows are sharp in this image also, I feel like it is less intentional. Some sub surface scattering is evident here, mainly around the areas of warm tone on the flesh.  Dynamic occlusion is also much more prevalent in this painting.
