All About Window View by Jacob Mącznik
Jacob Macznik, a painter who studied at the École de Paris, demonstrates his command of perspective and clarity in this scene that he painted from the window of the studio that doubled as his Paris apartment. He is successful in capturing the enhanced clarity that is present in one’s visual perception when the outdoors are well-lit despite the presence of cloud cover.
Outside on the street, buildings, the sidewalk, the curb and the rooftops all demonstrate perspective. Inside, the tablecloth does the same thing. What might have otherwise been a simple example of technical mastery is elevated to the level of art by the addition of curves, interest, and additional colour. In addition to this, we learn that the object in the foreground is a table because the vase is placed upon it.
Overall, the entire picture was put together with a lot of thought, careful attention to detail, and skilled artistic ability.
