Composition and Perspective: Creating Depth and Emotion
Van der Weyden's composition skillfully guides the viewer's eye through the altarpiece. He used linear perspective to create a sense of depth, drawing attention to the central figures. This technique not only adds realism but also heightens the emotional impact of the scene.
