Description: | Two figures in classical dress stand in the right corner of this landscape. The figure on the right draws a bow, whose straight line leads the viewer's eye into the distant landscape. On the left the composition is framed by hills with a castle. The subject of the painting is uncertain. It could refer to an obscure mythological story, or perhaps represents mythological figures such as Apollo, one of the most important Greek gods and also an archer, or his son Melaneus. However, landscapes with classical figures representing no specific subject were also popular during the eighteenth century. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian (Milanese) School Æ Attributed to Attributed to Italian (Piedmontese) School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8902... | Go to resource |
