Background
Images in the background may help clarify a picture or the action of the
picture’s figures. The background may serve to geographically locate
figures. For instance, a combat corpsman looks very different in a
nondescript jungle setting than with the Arc d’Triumph in the background.
The two different backgrounds imply a time span of 30 years.
Figure 3-62 illustrates how background settings influence the perceptions of
the viewer.
