Description: | Signed: yes Description: Jean François Portaels trained in Brussels and Paris before travelling around Europe and North Africa, where he painted his vision of this different culture. Returning to Brussels, he received several state commissions, worked at the Art Academy, and set up a successful studio where he trained many different artists. Mostly a painter of religious subjects, he also painted portraits and figure paintings. This example shows a couple dressed in peasant costume, possibly for a wedding. It is either a scene of everyday life, or more likely, a rich bourgeois couple posing in fancy dress. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Portaels, Jean François (Belgian painter and printmaker, 1818-1895) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8656... | Go to resource |
