Description: | Signed: yes Description: This painting and its pair (Plymg:ZO.204b) both depict picturesque alpine views. Whereas the pendant piece shows a high-up perspective over the snow-capped mountain peaks, this work shows the traditional peasant life of the lower slopes. As opposed to academic paintings, they are products of the growing trend in tourism in Europe in the nineteenth century. The rather stereotypical images were probably painted by an amateur sightseer or possibly produced commercially for foreign travellers as mementos. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Unknown Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8498... | Go to resource |
