Description: | Signed: yes Description: The later work of the French painter Auguste-François Bonheur is dominated by realist animal scenes for which there was a ready market. This is a typical example; a landscape with cows grazing and a cow suckling a calf. Bonheur studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts under Paul Delaroche. He first specialised in portrait and genre and later painted mostly animals. He exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon and at the Royal Academy. Bonheur's subjects are typical of Realism and he was often praised for his detailed paintings and the anatomical accuracy of his animal paintings. | Subjects: | landscape; animal (cows) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bonheur, Auguste-François (French painter, 1824-1884) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8447... | Go to resource |
