While visiting London I looked around the National Gallery, I found many pieces inspiring, but this in particularly stood out. I feel this captures the protagonist child; William Arthur Swift's lifestyle, or his personality. When looking at this I can imagine William Swift walking through fields desperately but proudly on his way to deliver this letter to his young love. The colours in this piece influence me also, I feel Rubens has chosen very traditional colours, almost royal colours. I feel that the colour that William should be wearing is mustard, or dark reds/crimsons. This will connate a rich background, creating a story about the child as soon as the audience looks at the character. Here art direction could dramatically change the audiences perception of our main character, I want the audience to like the character, not snobby, as the costume could imply if not picked right.
