Description: | Signed: yes Description: As befits an artist who specialised in architecture François Bossuet provides a panorama of this ancient city in southern Spain. The cathedral of Jaén, a fine example of Andalucian Baroque with its dome and twin towers, dominates the town while the street before us is densely packed with arcades, open-fronted shops, a church, houses and ornately decorated fountains. The figures provide local colour and life while also giving a scale to the buildings and filling in the large area of roadway. Bossuet studied at the Academy in Antwerp. In 1832 he became a professor at Brussels Academy. He is best known for his architectural subjects. | Subjects: | horse) everyday life; figure; animal (dog | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bossuet, François Antoine (Belgian painter, 1798-1889) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8442... | Go to resource |
