Description: | The overall style and subject of this painting indicate that it probably dates from the eighteenth century or beginning of the nineteenth. This was no longer the time of Classical, idealized landscapes, but not yet that of sublime Romantic landscapes or Realist outdoor scenes depicting the harsh life of the peasantry. The artist was nonetheless certainly influenced by the Classical landscape tradition of painters such as Claude Lorrain, as this presents some sort of ideal view of peasant life, where rurality is seen as a beautiful wood in which stands a pretty thatched cottage. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8937... | Go to resource |
