Description: | Signed: yes Description: Gabé painted many animal scenes during his career, as well as a number of historic scenes, of which the Bowes Museum owes several. This mountain scene allows the artist to display his skills at depicting animals in a landscape. Landscapes with animals continued to be fashionable in the nineteenth century after its success in the previous century. This was partly due to town dwellers feeling drawn to the country after the turmoil of the Revolution, and, later, to the Voyage Pittoresques stirring up nostalgia for the country and its animals. | Subjects: | goat) sheep landscape; figure; animal (cows | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Gabé, Edward (French painter, 1814-1865) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8979... | Go to resource |
