Description: | A Madonna-like shepherdess with left arm around her dog is seated on a hill above a herd of randomly placed goats filling out the lower part of the composition. The ethereal young innocent woman is absorbed by her own thoughts, and contrasts with the anthropomorphic animals whose expressions provide vitality and earthiness. The landscape is illuminated by the afterglow of a setting sun which radiates the profile of the woman and silhouettes the horns of the goats. | Subjects: | animal; figure; everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Palizzi, Giuseppe (Italian painter, 1812-1888) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8397... | Go to resource |
