Description: | The painter of this small landscape was the Austrian artist Franz de Paula Ferg. As a representation on copper of an idealised landscape, peopled with small figures and animals, it is typical of Ferg's work. Ferg was born in Vienna and studied there with his father. The younger Ferg established a reputation for painting landscapes and spent several years at the court in Dresden. In the early eighteenth century, Ferg came to London where he lived for more than twenty years producing small landscapes, such as those in the collection at Nottingham, for English clients. | Subjects: | landscape; animal (horse); 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 |
