Description: | Signed: yes Description: Eugène Verboeckhoven (1798-1881) was a prolific Belgian painter who specialised in such paintings of animals. This mature work demonstrates his skilful technique in rendering details, a style that he did not alter throughout his career. The placement of the animals on the seashore as if watching the departing and arriving shipping adds sentiment to the piece. Such emotion was something that Verboeckhoven introduced to his works after 1845. By the 1860s, as more dramatic realist artists, such as Rosa Bonheur, began to be lauded, Verboeckhoven's works were dismissed by critics as outdated. He did however remain a respected and successful artist. | Subjects: | landscape; animal (sheep pony) lambs | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Verboeckhoven, Eugène (Belgian painter, printmaker, and sculptor, 1799-1881) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8316... | Go to resource |
