Description: | Signed: yes Description: Probably a scene from the Alpine area of Savoie, this painting looks along the mountainous shore of a large lake. While the figures with their boats create a focus in the foreground, the skilled use of composition and perspective creates a vast expanse behind. To the left a grassy plane stretches back from the water's edge before meeting the rocky incline of the mountains. On the right the shoreline draws back into the distance and disappears in the haze. The glassy surface of the lake reflects the silvery translucence of the sky, adding to the tranquillity of the open space. | Subjects: | landscape; marine; figure; place (Savoie France); everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Deshayes, Eugene (French artist, 1828-1890) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9001... | Go to resource |
