Peixinha  +  290508 Wed, 08 Nov 06 05:28 AM Hello, The following is about a picture drawn by Bruegel. What does "stop the eye" mean?   "For instance, the perspective lines lead back, into the picture, but the woman in the middle left, watering the plants, stops the eye and directs it forward again to the picture surface."   Thank you,   Peixinha Joined on Mon, Jun 5 2006 New Member 50

As your eyes look around, and 'into' the perspective of, the picture, they pause when they arrive at the picture of the woman.
