Description: | This landscape scene with cattle, poultry and a little village with a mill, is attributed to the French painter Théodore Rousseau. In 1841, he settled in the village of Barbizon together with Narcisse Diaz de la Pena. They and their fellow painters, who became known as the Barbizon School, worked from nature, painting as well as sketching outdoors. Their scenes are often low key and undramatic, devoid of dramatic effects and literary or mythological subjects. Rousseau's plein-air landscape painting and thickly impasted brushwork influenced the Impressionists. This work, which is quite thinly painted, seems far closer to earlier Dutch landscapes. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal (cattle poultry) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Rousseau, Théodore (French painter, 1812-1867) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8430... | Go to resource |
