Paul Gauguin’s vision after the Sermon (1888) image uses horizontal lines. The objects in the image have a feeling of repose and rest because they are parallel to the earth. He also uses vertical lines because the image communicates a sense of height perpendicular to the earth surface. There are some images that seem to be at a higher level than the others. On the other hand, Masaccio’s Holy Trinity art uses a combination of vertical and horizontal line to show permanence and reliability of the image. The Holy Trinity art lines communicate stability and solidity of the objects.
Paul Gauguin image utilizes both positive and negative space to bring the feeling of depth. The area occupied by the objects is the positive space while the free space is negative space. The negative space is minimal and shows that the objects are not isolated from one another and to achieve a three dimension perspective. On the contrary, Masaccio’s Holy Trinity utilizes only positive space. The whole image is occupied by objects and has a convincing illusion of space within the art. The objects used are of full size because one can see Christ on the cross and the people who were standing near the cross at the time, after the crucifixion.

Masaccio uses color red to show the intensity of height between objects. He also uses bright colors to add value to the image and to show the scene was during the day. On the other hand, Paul Gauguin uses relatively dark color to demonstrate that the incident was occurring at the end of the day, at dusk. The role of the color in both images is to tell the audience the time in the painting.
