Where is the focal point in Wassily Kandinsky’s, Composition VII ?

How about in historical artwork?How about in historical artwork?

Kandinsky emphasized the large black circle in the upper left corner of his work. The object is different from everything else in the painting and therefore it "stands out".

In Francisco Goya’s, The Shootings of May Third 1801, where is the area of emphasis?

Goya "lights" up the painting in much the same way a spotlight lights up the actors on a stage. Goya creates a very light value around the area he wants you to see. The man in the white shirt is the focal point of the painting. He uses value contrast to emphasize this area.
