Description: | Signed: yes Description: De Bréa was active in Paris in the second half of the eighteenth century. This still life allowed the artist to practise compositional techniques, as well as textures. The fur, meat of the sausages, stones and wicker basket show the skills of the artist. The composition of the picture is quite typical of eighteenth-century still-lifes, which are presented either indoors, on tables (often with draperies), or outdoors (where the artist often depicts a distant background, such as a landscape or a village or city). | Subjects: | still life; townscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bréa, de (French painter, active 1750) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8958... | Go to resource |
