Description: | Signed: yes Description: Levis belonged to the Barbizon School, which attempted to achieve a truer representation of life in the countryside. This painting is dominated by the representation of a river and its untamed surroundings. A man, almost invisible, is shown in a little boat against the reeds at the right shore of the river. Behind him, and surrounding the river, reeds and trees dominate the scene, while the foreground consists of an overgrown bank. The river's surface perfectly mirrors its surroundings, including the great clouds in the sky. A few birds fly in the distance, at the top left-hand corner. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Levis, Maurice (French artist, 1860-) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8434... | Go to resource |
