Description: | Joséphine Bowes, the co-founder (with her husband) of the Bowes Museum, was a keen amateur painter. In 1865 the couple spent a long holiday in the village of Cernay-la-Ville, on the edge of the forest of Rambouillet, which was a popular location for artists. Joséphine liked it so much that her husband bought a small house there, which she used regularly until about 1869. She may well have been inspired by the forest to paint this large canvas, where she was able to show her skills at depicting large trees, a feature present in many of her paintings. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bowes, Joséphine (French artist, 1825-1874) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8948... | Go to resource |
