Description: | The picture depicts an idealised rural setting, within which a bird-catcher has set about his business. Whether the birds are being caught for game or because they are a threat to the crops is not clear, but the artist has picked up on the pictorial interest of the pursuit. The nets spread in the foreground of the picture add interest and narrative to an otherwise uneventful country scene. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Zais, Giuseppe (Italian painter, 1709-1781) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Zuccarelli, Franco (Italian painter, 1702-1788) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8712... | Go to resource |
