Description: | 'Fort Rouge' is a melancholic painting depicting a desolate beach landscape. In the background we see Fort Rouge in Winnipeg, Canada. Two young children in the forefront fail to detract attention from the presence of the staid looking building in the distance. Fort Rouge was established in 1738 by Frenchman La Verendrye, and was the first of many forts and trading posts built to win the profits of the fur trade.Richard Parkes Bonington was an English Romantic landscape painter who trained in France. One of the most influential British artists of his time, the facility of his style was inspired by the old masters, yet was entirely modern in its application.
