In the scene the viewer gets the feeling that the water is moving in the image which element of art is used to create the idea of the moving water in this image?

This question is based on the painting "The wounded foot" by Spanish painter Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida. And the options to choose from are:

A-line

B-variety

C-perspective

D-shape

Explanation:

The correct answer is C. Perspective.

Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida was a Spanish impressionist artist. Impressionist artists strived to capture an impression of an ephemeral moment. Sorolla was truly a master at capturing light shimmering across surfaces, and made many paintings portraying the Spanish Mediterranean beaches hit by the sun, and he often painted outside, creating images from his own perspective to capture the momentary effect of light, water and people in motion. While on the beach at Valencia, he painted quickly a group of pictures, including The Wounded Foot, which looks like a casual snapshot cropping, cutting off the arm of the child at the left, in order to give the viewer the sense of closeness. The colored reflections of late afternoon light animate the beach scene and define the forms of the liquid sea and the figures playing in the water.
