Without being able to view the specific image "Regatta on the Grand Canal in Honor of Frederick IV, King of Denmark" by Luca Carlevarijis, I can still help you understand how to analyze elements and principles of art generally found in paintings.

  1. Perspective - Check if there is a sense of depth or three-dimensionality in the composition, which can suggest distance or spatial relationships.
  2. Movement - Look for elements suggesting motion, such as the positioning of boats, figures, or lines that guide the viewer’s eye through the artwork.
  3. Variety - Analyze whether the painting incorporates differing shapes, colors, or forms to create visual interest.
  4. Symmetrical Balance - Determine if the composition is evenly balanced on either side of a central axis.

If you provide more detailed visual descriptions or context about the painting, I could help you identify which one of these principles may not be present in the artwork. However, based on your question, you should evaluate which element is least identifiable based on the image you have.
