| in den Vordergrund gerückten bildparallelen Tischreihung an arrangement of tables placed in the foreground parallel to the picture plane Explanation: May be one way of saying it. Or shifted/moved into the foreground, if it is a comparative comment. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2009-02-27 21:06:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Obviously it helps if you can see the image in question. It could also be that there is only one table, in which case I would simplify the sentence and say that the table is placed in the foreground, parallel to the picture plane. Does that make any sense in your context? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2009-02-27 21:14:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This would be an example of a figure brought forward in the image parallel to the picture plane: http://www.2artgallery.com/gallery/david-1600-by-caravaggio-... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2009-02-27 21:16:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://books.google.com/books?id=8FFH0vMv3DYC&pg=PA335&lpg=P... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 39 mins (2009-02-27 21:36:14 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the points, glad to help - what a convoluted sentence! |
