Side vision
The Monet at the Getty is like a neon light when you are looking at the other paintings. It draws you back to it.
There is something about his and some of the other old masters paintings that has the same effect as looking at the night sky. You cannot look directly at galaxies with the unaided eye and see them, yet indirectly you can see the glow better. This is some sort of secret or something that I have found in many of the old masters. But I can not explain why it is successful.
