Description: | Signed: yes Description: Heinrich Johann Zügel (1850-1941) was a painter of genre, and animals and people in landscape settings. He was a very prolific painter, producing many such works showing farming scenes with shepherds, swine and cow-herders. Zügel trained in Stuttgart before working in Vienna and Munich. He exhibited widely and won medals in Germany, Paris and Chicago. He became Professor at the Fine Art Academy in Munich in 1895. This work shows his ability to capture light and shade with a range of colours, evident in the sheep's wool and in the shadow falling across the man's face. | Subjects: | animal (sheep); figure; trade and industry (farming) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Zügel, Heinrich von (German painter, 1850-1941) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8314... | Go to resource |
