The Rialto, Venice spoke to me as both a great spatial painting with the different levels of gondolas and perspective entwined as well as the fundamentals behind it. It automatically draws your eye towards the man in the white suit standng on one of the gondolas with the light arching in towards his location. It involves perspective as I mentioned earlier, as well as a clear sense of light and darkness almost presenting an axis in a way, how darkness divides the two sections of light. I think this would be one to add to his site if at all possible for it's true artistic value.
