Description: | Signed: yes Description: The painting by the Swiss-Italian painter Luigi Chialiva depicts cattle grazing in a paddock. Chialiva trained as an architect under Gottfried Semper at the Polytechnic Institute in Zürich and later studied under Mancini at the School of Art in Milan. He is best known for his scenes of peasant life and domestic animals. During the ninettenth century pictures of farm animals achieved widespread popularity perhaps as part of a genralised nostalgia amongst an increasingly urban population. The origins of this genre were in seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish painting. | Subjects: | landscape; animal (cattle) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Chialiva, Luigi (Italian painter, 1842-1914) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8451... | Go to resource |
