About the artwork
Dated 1881, "Bourg and Bribun Cliffs, Mull – [Highland Town]" is an artwork by Edwin Austin Abbey. The catalogue places it in Landscape. The format is landscape. Landscape, a short history: 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. Painters have used landscape to study light, weather, season, and the relation between people and place. Context for 1881: Japanese prints reached Europe in large numbers and influenced many artists, while photography changed what painting needed to do. The later nineteenth century is the era of Impressionism, whose first group exhibition was held in Paris in 1874, followed by Post-Impressionism, Symbolism, and the Arts and Crafts movement.
"Bourg and Bribun Cliffs, Mull – [Highland Town]" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing.
