Description: | Signed: yes Description: This is a relatively early work by the prolific nineteenth-century Belgian painter Eugène Verboeckhoven. In 1828, Verboeckhoven came across the paintings of the Dutch animal specialist, Paulus Potter, an event that was to change the course of his career. In the following years, Verboeckhoven developed Potter's depictions of farm animals into a format that was vastly popular with collectors in Britain and abroad. In this work, the animals do not show any strong emotion - a feature of his later canvases. His skilled technique is still in full evidence, however, in the fine brushwork and rendering of the dusky light. | Subjects: | landscape; animal (cow donkey ewe sheep) lamb bull | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Verboeckhoven, Eugène (Belgian painter, printmaker, and sculptor, 1799-1881) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8867... | Go to resource |
