Description: | This scene is an imagined representation of the studio of the important sculptor Giovanni Bologna, who was working about forty to fifty years earlier than the date of this painting. The twisted poses of both the sculptor and the sculpture on which he is working are characteristic of the Baroque style that Giovanni Bologna himself used. However, the small scale figures of the young apprentices are more typical of north European art. Both Giovanni Bologna and the painter of this picture, Balthasar van den Bossche, worked in France for part of their careers. | Subjects: | everyday life; figure; interior | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bossche, Balthasar van den (Flemish painter, 1681-1715) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8644... | Go to resource |
