Description: | Signed: yes Description: The soft evening light is falling onto a river bank where some women appear to be busy with their laundry. The scene is quite typical of mid-nineteenth-century landscape. The painter has rendered the light and reflections in the water in a manner which may be likened to Barbizon paintings, which attempted to achieve a truer representation of life in the coutryside and rejected Academic tradition. Gallier studied under Gros and d'Aligny. He exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1834 to 1870, principally rustic scenes. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Gallier, Achille-Gratien (French artist, 1814-1871) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8982... | Go to resource |
