Description: | This busy rural scene shows an idyllic way of life rather in keeping with other painters of the second half of the nineteenth century (Camille Pissarro for instance). Everything seems provided a-plenty: grain for the mill, water for the river, milk and fish for the people, and the quantity of livestock implies an abundance of food and income from the sale of their meat and wool. The style of the painting however has nothing to do with Pissarro's modernity, but rather refers back to much earlier landscapes such as those of Boucher. Bricard studied under Cormon and Jean Tournoux. He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1904. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal (sheep cows) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bricard, Xavier (French painter, active 19th-20th centuries) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9015... | Go to resource |
