Description: | This painting is an example of the type of landscape introduced by the Italian painter Salvator Rosa in the mid-seventeenth century. Rosa's Arcadian views peopled with small figures were often imitated, and his landscapes were particularly popular in England in the eighteenth century on account of their picturesque qualities. This work is probably by an eighteenth-century follower of Rosa. It was one of many landscapes bequeathed by Charles Howitt to the museum to commemorate his family's ties with the town of Long Eaton. | Subjects: | figure; landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian School Æ Previously attributed to Rosa, Salvator (Italian painter and engraver, 1615-1673) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8632... | Go to resource |
