Description: | This painting's French title (the walking sticks for the old age) give it a moral overtone. The patient, gentle children helping their grandmother to walk are a lesson in charity and kindness. The church spire in the background may be a reminder of the Christian aspect of their benevolent act. Lanfant (also called Lanfant de Metz) mostly painted genre scenes and children, so this picture is well within his remit. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lanfant, François-Louis (French painter, 1814-1892) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8978... | Go to resource |
