About the artwork
Eilif Peterssen is the artist behind "Figur Study of the Farmer Florian Killian", dated 1872. It is listed in the Figurative collection. The image is in portrait orientation. Figurative, a short history: Portraits, group scenes, studies of the nude, and pictures of daily life all belong to figurative art. Figurative art depicts people and recognisable scenes, and it has been central to European painting since antiquity. Historical background, 1872: Japanese prints reached Europe in large numbers and influenced many artists, while photography changed what painting needed to do. In the 1890s, colour lithography and Art Nouveau made the illustrated poster a celebrated art form.
