About the artwork
Louis Marvy is the artist behind "Landscape with tree-lined country road (Thomas Creswick)", dated 1850. It is listed in the Landscape collection. The image is in portrait orientation. Landscape in brief: Painters have used landscape to study light, weather, season, and the relation between people and place. Landscape became an independent genre in European painting in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, while in East Asia it had long been central to ink painting. Historical background, 1850: Landscape gained new prestige through groups such as the Barbizon painters in France and the Hudson River School in the United States, and by mid-century Realism turned to ordinary people and everyday labour. The invention of lithography around 1796 and its spread in these decades made printed images cheaper and more varied.
"Landscape with tree-lined country road (Thomas Creswick)" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing.
