Description: | Signed: yes Description: Durand Brager travelled to the Atlantic coast of Africa and was part of the expedition which brought back Napoleon's remains from St Helena in 1840. He is known as a painter of marine scenes, whether they be battles between ships or more descriptive pieces like this one. This piece is quite unusual for Durand Brager as it looks more sketchy, much les 'finished' than the other paintings by him kept at the Bowes. Here the brushstrokes are clearly visible and one may wonder whether the artist may have painted this outdoors, from the beach he depicts in the painting. | Subjects: | marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Durand-Brager, Jean Baptiste Henri (French photographer, painter, 1814-1879) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9046... | Go to resource |
