Description: | A group of figures is shown in the left foreground, sitting in the shade of a tree on the bank of a river while attending a herd of goats. The river leads the eye back from the bottom right corner in a curving line into the middle distance of the painting. Such pastoral scenes became increasingly popular during the eighteenth century, especially with British aristocrats travelling through Italy on the Grand Tour. | Subjects: | landscape; animal (goat) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Zuccarelli, Franco (Italian painter, 1702-1788) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8914... | Go to resource |
