Description: | Signed: yes Description: It is possible that this tiny painting shows a street in Barbizon. This near-deserted view, giving the impression of a quiet rural retreat, belies the fact that by the 1850s, Barbizon was a flourishing and busy resort for both tourists and artists. Hervier has worked from an artificially high angle and painted an unrealistically wide-angled, open and panoramic view - the cottages and houses to either side dramatically converging on the low horizon line. Dappled sunlight hits the walls of the houses on the right, whist the houses on the left and the horse and covered wagon are in shadow. | Subjects: | landscape; townscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Hervier, Louis Adolphe (French painter and printmaker, 1818-1879) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8803... | Go to resource |
