Description: | Joséphine Bowes, the co-founder with her husband) of the Bowes Museum, disliked sea journeys and would often stay ashore whilst her husband went to England on business. She therefore had time to observe the areas around Boulogne-sur-Mer and Calais and depicted these landscapes many times. The tower depicted here may have been either made up or could have been inspired by the Tour d'Odre, an old lighthouse situated outside Boulogne which collapsed in the seventeenth century. | Subjects: | landscape; marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bowes, Joséphine (French artist, 1825-1874) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8947... | Go to resource |
