Description: | This landscape may be the work of an unknown French painter working in the early decades of the nineteenth century. A scene of a cascade in a rocky landscape is enlivened with small figures. Despite the efforts that the academician Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes and his followers made to promote the landscape genre, it was still overshadowed by history painting in the criticism associated with the Salons. The genre nevertheless appealed to collectors and visitors. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9016... | Go to resource |
