Description: | Joséphine Bowes liked to represent menacing weather, and this scene certainly is a very good example of this. In a careful composition leading the eye along the path towards the village in the background and ultimately the dark storm clouds, the figure of a man in a coat, carrying his umbrella, animates a landscape swept by a strong wind. He struggles against it, and his silhouette, as well as the bent trees and corn crops, give the viewer a strong impression of that very moment. The title indicates the location as being near Calais, where the artist would have stayed many times whilst her husband went to England on business trips. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bowes, Joséphine (French artist, 1825-1874) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8945... | Go to resource |
