Description: | Joséphine Bowes, the co-founder (with her husband) of the Bowes Museum, was a keen amateur painter. She produced many landscapes featuring large, imposing trees, and may well have been inspired for this picture by the forest of Rambouillet, south west of Paris. She spent a long holiday there in 1865, and liked it so much that her husband bought a house in Cernay-la-Ville, just outside the forest. This was a popular location with artists, and Joséphine Bowes stayed there regularly until about 1869. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bowes, Joséphine (French artist, 1825-1874) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8947... | Go to resource |
