Attention to the picture plane is brought through the irregular shape of the canvas and the anamorphic perspective; viewers are forced to reckon with the flatness and the boundaries of the object. I like the contrast of the relatively modern attention to the picture plane contrasted with the heavy metal, antique aesthetics of the northern renaissance style.
