Description: | CRE ALLAN, David; (Scottish; 1744-1796) From a series of 6 Italian subjects. While most contemporary artists in Rome tended to emphasize the grandeur of antique monuments such as the imposing Colosseum, Allan was more interested in the people who used them, giving only little glimpses of ruins in the background. In his Italian etchings, the artist was building on a tradition of genre subjects already extant in Italy and developed in his own day by Pietro Fabris (1740-1792), an accomplished Neapolitan genre painter and a protégé of Sir William Hamilton. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | PICTURESQUE : GENRE : RELIGIOUS : COLOSSEUM : ITALY : FRIAR : ROME : : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
