Description: | Signed: yes Description: This painting is reminiscent of the 'troubadour' genre of the beginning of the nineteenth century, whilst also trying to draw from an earlier tradition (Watteau's fêtes galantes come to mind). The troubadour painters were influenced by the renewal of interest for all things medieval, and the image of the secret lover and his 'dame' fits into this category, even though the setting is much more modern. | Subjects: | buildings and gardens; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Blay, C de (French artist, active 19th century) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9047... | Go to resource |
