Description: | Signed: yes Description: Two fishermen stand in a river, one holding up a fish he has just caught. A man sitting on the right bank of the river gestures down to the other men, while a fourth man on the opposite bank leans on a staff and watches the scene. In the background men with pack horses can be seen crossing a bridge. This painting may be autograph work by Claude (1600-1682) with some later overpainting. The carefully formulated composition is typical of earlier landscapes by Claude, and shows human activity within an idealised landscape, redolent of the countryside outside of Rome, including trees framing the view and a distant sunset. | Subjects: | animal (fish horses); figure; landscape dog | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lorrain, Claude (French painter and draftsman, 1604-1682, active in Italy) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8567... | Go to resource |
