Following his return to Scotland, he produced a fine series of landscapes before establishing himself in Edinburgh as a successful portraitist. The title of this Italian study acknowledges Whistler's colour harmonies, much admired by the Glasgow Boys."
Cyril Gerber had a picture of the same courtyard, also called Pink, Green & Gold, Italy, which he sold. | 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 : STREETSCENE : ITALY : COURTYARD : SUNLIGHT : GLASGOW BOY : COURTYARD : : | 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 |
