Symmetrical Balance (24)

Symmetry: a quality of a composition or form wherein a precise correspondence of elements exists on either side of a center axis or point.


"The Last Supper" by da Vinci
In this painting, it is symmetrically balanced horizontally. In the middle is Jesus and on each side of him are six people. The table legs are symmetrical with four on each side. The same is for the tapestries with four of them on each side. In the back, there is a big window in the back with two beside them. The balance and symmetry of this composition unifies it.
