Botticelli. La Primavera.
Linear-Definite paint by numbers, solid color and line, effect
Planar- All of the figures seem to be standing in a line. There is no depth of motion.
Open- because of the way the blue Pan-looking thing is off the edge and that the cherub thing at the top is also not entirely part of the painting. However, if this is just a bad picture and in actuality those figures are part of the painting and everyone is enclosed within the borders of the branches, then I'd say it's closed.
Multiplicity- Each figure can stand on its own.
Absolute Clarity- I think it seems pretty clear. It's spring-time and the wood-nymphs are happy.
Nice analysis on the open vs. closed. I would have said closed right off but I think you were right on. It is obviously a transition piece into Baroque. Can you find dates for these because that will be nice for that kind of comparison.
