Description: | Signed: yes Description: The subject is typical for Palizzi, a specialist animal painter. The low vantage point puts the viewer at eye-level with the donkey, which at a three-quarter angle looks out of the picture. Five goats, either lying or standing in the grass, surround it. One (left) tries to reach the grass hanging from the mouth of the inattentive donkey. Brushstrokes are visible, emphasising light on fur and grass. Diagonal brushwork marks the expansive sky, giving the impression of a windy day. The style reveals the influence of the Barbizon School and plein-air painting. | Subjects: | animal; landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Palizzi, Giuseppe (Italian painter, 1812-1888) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8397... | Go to resource |
