Description: | Signed: yes Description: The figure of a stag is shown erect, looking out at the viewer. Having trained with her father, Bonheur explored her affinity with animals through subjects such as The Stag. This understanding of animals can be seen in the way that the artist has observed the posture of the stag to convey the moment the animal has paused, having noticed something. The attention to detail in the movement of the stag and its natural surroundings reflects the ideal of the observation of nature on which the Realist movement was formed and in which Bonheur practiced. | Subjects: | stag); landscape animal (deer | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bonheur, Rosa (French animal painter, 1822-1899) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8907... | Go to resource |
