Description: | Claude-Joseph Vernet was the best known of a family of French landscape painters, but worked extensively in Italy. This work is a relatively early painting by Vernet, and demonstrates the influence of Locatelli. Vernet was in Italy for most of the period 1743-55, and the castle in the background of this painting is believed to be a loose rendering of the Castel Saint Angelo in Rome. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Vernet, Claude-Joseph (French painter and draftsman, 1714-1789) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8679... | Go to resource |
