Description: | Signed: yes Description: Although Joseph Altenkopf was Austrian, the influence of the Italianate is evident in both the subject and structure of this work. The architecture of the church in the centre of the image appears particularly Italian, with its square belfry and gently sloping red tiled roof. The layering of the foreground and middle ground, with the light appearing from behind and illuminating the hillside in the background, also conforms to a neoclassical style of composition. Nonetheless, Altenkopf's portrayal of nature and the peasants which animate the scene are consistent with the increasingly naturalist approach of landscapists in the mid nineteenth century. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Altenkopf, Joseph (Austrian artist, 1818-) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8499... | Go to resource |
