Description: | It is uncertain whether this was painted by Joséphine Bowes, the co-founder of the Bowes Museum. A keen amateur painter, she trained under Karl-Josef Kuwasseg (1802-1877), a well-known landscape painter whose work she imitated. She painted many landscapes featuring large, imposing trees, and may have been inspired by the Forest of Rambouillet, south west of Paris. She spent a holiday there with her husband in 1865, and liked it so much that he bought her a house in Cernay-la-Ville, on the edge of the forest. It was a popular location with artists and Joséphine spent time there until about 1869. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bowes, Joséphine (French artist, 1825-1874) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8944... | Go to resource |
