Description: | Signed: yes Description: Eugène Verboeckhoven was a prolific artist of high reputation and diverse talents. He specialised in paintings of farm animals, of which this painting is a typical example. It demonstrates his scrupulous technique and acute observation of form. His depiction of the setting is equally thorough, conveying the different textures of the terrain and the soft luminosity of the sky. Despite the work's high finish, the subtle inference of movement prevents these docile animals from appearing too static. The ducks hurry their young out of the rippling pool, and the stretching cow in the centre motions to scratch her chin. | Subjects: | animal (sheep duck) cattle | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Verboeckhoven, Eugène (Belgian painter, printmaker, and sculptor, 1799-1881) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8846... | Go to resource |
