Description: | The thick impasto and rather large brushstrokes suggest not only that this is a study, which may have been painted outdoors, but also that Joséphine Bowes may have been influenced by the beginnings of Impressionism. The co-founder of the Bowes Museum (with her husband), she was a keen amateur painter. She particularly liked depicting trees and large dramatic skies. Poplars appear in several of her paintings; they are a very common species in Northern France and she would have seen them on many occasions during her travels between Paris and England. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bowes, Joséphine (French artist, 1825-1874) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8948... | Go to resource |
