Description: | Signed: yes Description: Against the backdrop of an expansive, cloudy sky, and a canal, three workhorses are all walking into the distance along the tow path of the canal. To their right a barge travels from right to left along the canal, and in the distance more boats, with sails, buildings and a town are visible. 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 (horse); figure | 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 |
