Description: | Signed: yes Description: Henry Campotosto was born in Brussels. After studying in this city, he moved to London sometime before 1871. He died here in 1910. He gained success specialising in rustic genre scenes depicting motherly love and relations between women, of which this is a typical example. The peasant mother and her daughters are shown stoking a fire, perhaps waiting for their absent husband and father. Campotosto exhibited in 1871 and 1878 at the Royal Academy in London and at the Salon in Paris in 1874. Although meant to show Ardennes, the countryside resembles English moorland. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Campotosto, Henry (Belgian painter d.1910) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8870... | Go to resource |
