Description: | Signed: yes Description: Charles Émile Jacque, a printmaker and painter specialising in landscapes and farming scenes, was a leading member of the Barbizon group of painters, who worked in and around the area of Fontainebleau. He developed a growing interest in painting in the late 1830s and by 1849 his works had made their way into the French state sollection of contemporary art at the Luxembourg Museum. This scene is typical of his oeuvre, showing a picturesque image of the rural poor. Jacque was often accused for distorting the image of the provincial French peasants, something he shared with other rural genre painters of the time, and was considered a precursor of Realist' tonal drawing. Paying great attention to detail, the picture resembles in subject and style Jacque's Troupeau de Moutons dans un Paysage (1870, Huntington Art Collections, San Marino, CA, USA), and Bergère et Ses Moutons (private collection). | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Jacque, Charles Émile (French painter, illustrator, and printmaker, 1813-1894) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8516... | Go to resource |
