Description: | Signed: yes Description: The connoisseur of the title is the man examining a painting on an easel. He may be considering buying it. The setting is an artist's studio, in whch we can see various pictures, sculpture and a camera obscura set upon a table. The painting is typical of the work of the Belgian painter Basile de Loose (1809-1885), who painted interior scenes, often set in the seventeenth century in the manner of Golden Age Flemish paintings. The theatricality of the painting is emphasised by the caprice of a servant boy pulling back a curtain to the left of the canvas, reminiscent of the curtains used to cover cabinet paintings in the seventeenth century. | Subjects: | figure; interior | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Loose, Basile de (Belgian painter, 1809-1885) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8558... | Go to resource |
