Description: | Signed: yes Description: Several boats are lying at anchor along the canal, while birds circle overhead. This canal scene is busier than that in The Tow Path in Aberdeen Art Gallery (ABDAG004477), with significantly more boats, as well as several buildings in the background. Whilst Jacob Maris was certainly influenced by his French and German contemporaries, this painting clearly recalls the paintings of Dutch 17th century artists. Their landscapes also depicted such typical scenes of rustic workers and canals and are often characterised by the vast skies that a flat landscape provides. | Subjects: | landscape; animal (bird) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Maris, Jacob Henricus (Dutch landscape painter, 1837-1899) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9193... | Go to resource |
