Description: | Joséphine Bowes, the co-founder (with her husband) of the Bowes Museum travelled through Europe in 1868 with her husband in order to purchase objects for the Museum. The journey took them as far as Budapest and Poland. This canvas was most certainly painted in Paris after the trip, as it is very large and would have been difficult to transport. Joséphine Bowes shows here her interest for reflections, skies and rocks, features which are present in many of her works. She also often added figures which give a reassuring human element to otherwise awesome natural landscapes. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal (cows) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bowes, Joséphine (French artist, 1825-1874) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8946... | Go to resource |
