Description: | Signed: yes Description: In this romantic, fantastical landscape with a fortified medieval castle set by a lake, figures from the castle, prosperously-attired in medieval costume, are about to embark on a small ferry boat. The landscape is mountainous and a ruined castle surmounts a peak in the distance. Rustige was born in Werl, Westphalia, and died in Stuttgart. He was a painter of history, genre and portraits, and an etcher. He was a pupil of Schadow in the Düsseldorf Academy and Professor at the Institut Städel in Frankfurt and at the School of Fine Art in Stuttgart. After a sojourn in Paris, he accepted the post of curator at Stuttgart Museum. He was also a writer. | Subjects: | lake); buildings and gardens (castle); figure landscape (mountain | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Rustige, Heinrich Franz Gaudenz von (German painter 1810-1900) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8378... | Go to resource |
