Description: | Signed: yes Description: Auguste Joseph Delessard was born in Paris in 1827, but went to the United States around 1848 to 1849 and remained there for some years. In the early 1860s he was exhibiting in New York State, where he painted this work. He depicted scenes of everyday life, animals and landscapes. This work shows his typical heavy impasto technique used to good effect in the swirling clouds, evocative of the power of nature that has stranded the passengers who are now ferrying their goods to safety. The painting once belonged to the Miller family, important patrons of the nineteenth-century Liverpool school. | Subjects: | marine; figure; landscape; everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Delessard, Auguste Joseph (French painter, 1827-after 1890) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8315... | Go to resource |
