Description: | This painting depicts classical figures in a landscape setting enjoying Bacchic pursuits. The setting of figures within a landscape, with the receding line of architecture in the right and left foreground used to frame the figures and draw the viewer's gaze into the work, follows the compositions of Claude Lorrain and Pierre Patel. The figural types indicate that the painting dates from the earlier eighteenth century. | Subjects: | landscape; buildings and gardens (temple); figure; mythology (satyr) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Patel, Pierre, I (French painter, ca.1605-1676) Æ Attributed to manner of Previously attributed to after Lorrain, Claude (French painter and draftsman, 1604-1682, active in Italy) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8910... | Go to resource |
