Description: | 53.0 x 43.0 s b. l. "E. A. Hornel 87"; inscr in pen v. "Mine own Back Garden" CRE HORNEL, Edward Atkinson; (Scottish; 1864-1933) Hornel lived and worked for most of his life in his home town of Kirkcudbright, Galloway. The distinctive skyline of the town, with its towered toolbooth and whitewashed, gable-ended houses, features in many of his paintings. Hornel reputedly lived for a short period in a house in the location of this painting around 1886-7. The tilte confirms the site as a private enclosure. Pigment is laid on thickly in square brushstrokes, giving the bare earth the appearance of being freshly dug. | 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: | LANDSCAPE : CHURCH : GARDEN : GLASGOW BOY : EX CAMPUS : KIRKCUDBRIGHT : CABBAGE : REALISM : FIELD : DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY : ASPECTS OF SCOTTISH ART : | 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 |
