Description: | Joséphine Bowes, the co-founder (with her husband) of the Bowes Museum, may have been inspired for this work by the forest of Rambouillet, south west of Paris. She spent a long holiday there in the autumn of 1865, and liked it so much that her husband bought a house in Cernay-la-Ville, a popular artist haunt just outside the forest. Joséphine used the house regularly until about 1869. She liked depicting large, imposing trees and often used figures to emphasise the scale of her compositions. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bowes, Joséphine (French artist, 1825-1874) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8947... | Go to resource |
