Description: | This tiny landscape is painted on copper. It is attributed to the Austrian artist Franz de Paula Ferg, although his paintings, unlike this example, were usually signed. This landscape is, nevertheless, typical of Ferg's oeuvre, showing figures conversing in a landscape with classical ruins. Ferg often produced his works in pairs and the collection at Nottingham includes another landscape attributed to the artist of fairly similar size, although it is unclear if they were produced as companion pieces. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; buildings and gardens | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Ferg, Franz de Paula (Austrian painter and printmaker, 1689-1740) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8524... | Go to resource |
