Description: | Signed: yes Description: A romantic landscape with two riders, dressed in seventeenth-costume, galloping beside a river which flows under a bridge. At the far side of the bridge is a medieval building, probably a gatehouse, which another rider on the bridge is approaching. The mountainous landscape is fantastical, a ruined castle is set on a distant peak. 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: | river); buildings and gardens (bridge gatehouse); animal (horse) 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 |
