Description: | Signed: yes Description: Meusnier (1655-1734) painted architectural views. He worked in Rome for eight years then was employed to decorate royal palaces in France, including Versailles, where he was commissioned by Louis XIV to paint the ceiling of the chapel. Watteau and Pater often painted figures in his landscapes, but it is unknown whether they may have contributed to the Bowes' painting. It has been suggested that the quay represented here in the evening light may be Venice. | Subjects: | townscape; marine; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Meusnier, Philippe, the elder (French painter, 1655-1734) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9000... | Go to resource |
