Even though John Currin and Jean Clouet are from different Century's I saw a similarity within their richly painted orban colours, there is more of a husky browned background on Clouets painting where as Currin has gone for a bolder black. I have to say I much prefer the browned background as it is less harsh on the eye, however the blackened background on Currins draws the eye more the the person within the foreground creating the viewer to focus on the person rather as a whole painting.
