Description: | Signed: yes Description: This style of painting usually dates from the seventeenth century (see for instance the religious landscapes painted by Claude Lorrain), so this is a very late example. But what looks like a pretty landscape with travellers actually is a depiction of the Flight into Egypt. A faint halo surrounding the head of the woman on the donkey indicates she is the Virgin Mary. Boquet was a pupil of Leprince and exhibited at the Salon from 1791. He mainly painted landscapes of the Franche-Comté area, full of people and animals. | Subjects: | donkey sheep dog landscape; figure; animal (horse cows); religion (Flight into Egypt) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Boquet, Pierre Jean (French artist, 1751-1817) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9018... | Go to resource |
