Description: | Signed: yes Description: A Spanish genre painter and one of the leading pupils of Gerome, Escosura was a successful Salon painter, especially of genre. In his own country he was closely associated with the influential dealer and founder of the Metropolitan, Samuel P. Avery who championed his work. This small historical study is typical of Escosura's style, which he developed after coming to Paris in the early 1860s. He rarely deviated from historical subjects, gaining success with large figurative works. This may be a study for a larger work, due to the sketchy manner of the painting. | Subjects: | figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: León Escosura, Ignacio de (Spanish painter; 1834-1901) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8831... | Go to resource |
