Now, from the same book (  www.gutenberg.org/files/26638/26638-h/26638-h.html   )
here are some BAD compositions from the great masters

 

Raphael's Madonna with the Blue Diadem: "Irrelevancy of subject and background, main lines of the latter repelling cohesion"
Annunciation by Botticelli: "Subject disturbed by lack of reserve in background, the vision drawn across the foreground by continuing verticals"

    
The Last Judgement by Michaelangelo: "Composition in three tiers and subdivided vertically, a strain to unity."
Birth of the Virgin Mary by Durer: "Subject relegated to background, picture divided through centre."
And, finally, Teniers goes down:

I replaced the poor reproductions from the original (except the last one) by the images from the Web Gallery of Art ( www.wga.hu/ )
