Description: | This painting was used as a teaching aid at the Bowes Museum in order to show students the impact of varnish removal. The paint colour looks a lot brighter where the old brown varnish has been removed. Robert Léopold Leprince was a painter and engraver. He did history paintings, portraits, genre scenes and landscapes. He was the brother and pupil of Auguste Xavier Leprince and Gustave Leprince, and the son of Anne Pierre Leprince, also a painter. He exhibited at the Salon from 1822 to 1844 and was awarded a first-class medal in 1824. He established himself in Chartres where he earned a certain reputation as a landscape painter. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal (sheep dog) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Leprince, Leopold (French artist, 1800-1847) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9010... | Go to resource |
