These are my corrections and commen...Hello again, <br /><br />These are my corrections and comments. Erase the things in brackets: <br /><br />- ...who was Philip's IV <b>S</b>tate secretary for the Flanders' affairs. <br /><br />- Its size is 179 cm h<b>igh x 233 cm wide</b> <br /><br />- The painting represents the patriarch Jacob sleeping supported <b>on</b> his left arm. <br /><br />-...a strange dream about a celestial stair<b>case</b> where angels are going up and (going) down. Jacob is placed in the center asleep in the mo<b>st</b> realistic way, <b>as</b> if he was a shepherd. In fact, the celestial stairs are the strong spotlight which lights up Jacob's face. The angels of th<b>ese</b> celestial stairs are almost invisible.<br /><br /><br />- The painter used a geometric cross composition and <b>a</b> foreshortened figure(s). <b>In this painting </b>, Ribera get<b>s</b> closer to the illumination and the colors of the Venetian School.<br /><br />- This is a <b>B</b>aroque painting because <b>its</b> features are realism and religiosity. <br /><br />- Oil was used to paint <b>o</b>n canvas and there were also contrasts of light and shadows, foreshortened figures and <b>a</b> complex composition(s). <br /><br /><br />- Ribera lost his initial tenebrism and started painting with similar characteristics to the <b>V</b>enetian <b>school</b>. He was influenced by Caravaggio at first, but then he was influenced by Van Dyck and other painters. The local painters, such as Velázquez and Murillo, t<b>ook</b> the works that Ribera sent to Spain <b>as a reference </b>and some other painters like Fragonard, Manet and Henri Matisse... copied his works. In Italy he was known as Lo Spagnoletto («El Españolito»). This painting belong<b>ed</b> to the Jerónimo de la Torre's family until 1718. In 1746 <b>it was found</b> among all (the) queen Isabel of Farnese's paintings. She bought it as a Murillo's canvas and it was attribute<b>d</b> to <b>this painter</b> for a long time.<br /><br />That's all. Your mark is 9.
