Review the Google Arts and Culture online exhibit, ‘The Fall of the Rebel Angels’: A Closer Look at the Masterpiece (Links to an external site.).
Review the “Words Art Historians Use” section in the Introduction of the textbook (Kleiner, 2017, p.7). Art historians use specific terminology to describe artworks and buildings of various regions and periods.
Drawing on the information that you learned from the exhibit, analyze the Bruegel work, The Fall of the Rebel Angels, in your own words, applying at least three of the most important vocabulary words that art historians use to describe the work art. Explain why you chose those three terms and why they are important for analyzing art.
