Description: | Signed: yes Description: Monticelli, who was admired by many contemporary artists, including Van Gogh, created intense colour and light effects and a dnesely textured paint surface with his figures emerging glowing from the darkest backgrounds. Monticelli studied in Marseilles and later settled in Paris during the 1840's, where he became a friend of Narcisse Diaz de la Pena, a member of the Barbizon School. He painted in the Fontainebleau Forest during the 1850s but moved away from Barbizon in his distinctive figure and still life compositions. | Subjects: | figure; animal (dog); landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Monticelli, Adolphe Joseph Thomas (French painter, 1824-1886) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8438... | Go to resource |
