Description: | Couturier painted many attractive farmyard scenes, of which five are in the collections of the Bowes Museum. His lively and skilful drawing gives character to his depiction of farmyard animals. There were many artists interested in country life in the nineteenth century, but Couturier appears to have possibly been the only one specialising in representations of farmyard animals. He may have been influenced in his choice of subject by Dutch and Flemish seventeenth-century depictions of farmyard animals, such as those by Hondecoeter. | Subjects: | animal (poultry) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Couturier, Philibert Leon (French painter, 1823-1901) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8983... | Go to resource |
