Description: | 88.0 x 68.5 x 5.3 s. b. r. "E. A. Hornel / 94" CRE HORNEL, Edward Atkinson; (Scottish; 1864-1933) In its original wide white frame. The arched bridge is a Japanese motif also used by Monet and Whistler. LABEL: This work dates from Hornel's trip to Japan from 1893-4. Even before then, his paintings shared certain characteristics with Japanese art, in particular an interest in surface decoration, the use of a high horizon and flattened perspective. But he did not favour its refined draughtsmanship, developing instead a rich impasto indebted to the then fashionable Adolphe Monticelli (1824-1886). | 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: | DECORATIVE : FEMALE : JAPAN : LANDSCAPE : BRIDGE : LANTERN : GLASGOW BOY : GENRE : RIVER : : CAMPUS : GEORGE SMITH GIFT/BEQUEST : | 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 |
