Description: | Signed: yes Description: This genre painting of a respectable subject matter painted in a naturalistic way with great attention to detail, would have been much loved by the public at the end of the nineteenth century. The subject, a choirmaster leading young boys to church, is rendered by Weisz, a genre and portrait painter, in a subtle colour combination which helps to create a dignified mood. The sitters were probably painted from life, as their facial features and clothes demonstrate. There was a growing demand for highly finished pictures of realistic scenes at the turn of the century and Weisz certainly satisfied this demand. | Subjects: | religion; everyday life; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Weisz, Adolphe (French painter, 1838-after 1900) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8800... | Go to resource |
