Description: | From 1856-70, the French painter Monticelli worked in Paris, and achieved recognition for subjects from Boccacio and fetes galantes. Seduced by nineteenth-century Parisian bohemianism, Monticelli was influenced by the decadent rococo canvases of Watteau. Returning to his native Marseilles in 1870, towards the end of his life, his heavily impasted work was to have a profound effect on the canvases of Vincent van Gogh, as was his Delacroix-inspired use of colour. | Subjects: | figure; landscape; everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Monticelli, Adolphe Joseph Thomas (French painter, 1824-1886) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9177... | Go to resource |
