Description: | Signed: yes Description: A young couple in classical dress stand on a parapet; he faces her, while she faces front, looking at him teasingly out of the corner of her eye. She hides flowers behind her back, pushing him away as he tries to see them. She also has flowers in her hair and at her breast, while more flowers grow on the wall. Behind them is a landscape featuring cliffs and the sea. The revival of interest in classical art and architecture is evident here in Aubert's transformation of a simple courting scene into an imagined view of Ancient Greece or Rome. | Subjects: | everyday life; figure; landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Aubert, Jean (French painter, 1824-1906) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9200... | Go to resource |
