Description: | Signed: yes Description: A donkey with a load of branches on its back has fallen on a path in a dark forest. It lies on its right, with head touching the ground and exposed tongue giving an impression of helplessness. Behind, its driver, silhouetted against a fading sunset, holds its tail. The man looks upward, open mouth suggesting he cries or shouts in desperation. A lattice of framing branches stabbing downwards seems to threaten the group. Palizzi, a specialist animal painter, frequently painted donkeys, but the sombre mood is unusual. | 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 |
