Description: | This classical landscape is based on the countryside near Rome, but it is depicted in an idealised manner. Gaspard Dughet, a French painter who lived in Rome and trained with his brother-in-law Nicolas Poussin, specialised in such arcadian landscapes, sometimes peopled with mythological characters or, as in this case, with shepherds and their animals. He attracted many imitators; this painting is probably the work of a contemporary follower. | Subjects: | sheep); everyday life landscape (woods mountains); figure; animal (cattle | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dughet, Gaspard (French landscape painter, 1615-1675, active in Italy) Æ Manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8627... | Go to resource |
