The mask below is a classic example of a Venetian mask. I especially commend the artists' subtle transition from mask to face in the eye area-- it's done so masterfully, the woman's' face almost seems part of the mask. The colors are also breathtaking-- a captivating yet paced and by no means color scheme of silvers, yellows and other "moon, sun and sky" colors leave one in awe. Though it may give the illusion of being simple, a second look reveals that this mask was no easy creative accomplishment. Intense detail on the minutely perfected outlines of the silver stars and moons on the cheeks to the very deliberate, exact gradiation of the crisp yellow "eye-shadow" all point to one conclusion: this piece of art is a masterpiece.
