Description: | Signed: yes Description: The painting by the French painter Henri-Joseph Harpignies depicts a landscape with a river and the sun setting behind a tree on the left. Harpignies studied under Jean-Alexis Achard (1807-1884) in Paris. He is known for his painting of children in landscape settings. He was influenced by the Barbizon school and especially by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875), who was a close friend of Harpignies. He first exhibited in the Salon in 1853 and received his first medal in 1886 for Le Soir dans la Campagne de Rome which was acquired for the Musée du Luxembourg in Paris. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Harpignies, Henri-Joseph (French painter and printmaker, 1819-1916) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8436... | Go to resource |
