1. The lines looks natural even though they are not parallel because of space. This leads the eyes of the viewer towards the hazy horizon. These lines are creating space through the lines to give the painting more life and a natural look.
2. The boat in the foreground looks much larger than the sailing ship in the background because of the perspective. The perspective in this painting draws the eyes toward the closer ship, even though it can be inferred that the actual larger ship is the one in the background.
3. The artist spent a lot of time in Italy perhaps and it can be inferred that since he knew of the location and its architecture that he used the knowledge in his paintings. Or perhaps he liked the architecture of ruins, since there seems to be a pattern of ruins in his works.
