About the artwork
Søren Jacob Grønvald is the artist behind "Courtyard with stairs, gables, house doors, and windows", dated 1879. Illustration in brief: The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are often described as a golden age of book and magazine illustration. Illustration serves a text or a story, a tradition that runs from decorated medieval manuscripts to printed book plates, magazines, and posters. About the period around 1879: In the 1890s, colour lithography and Art Nouveau made the illustrated poster a celebrated art form. Japanese prints reached Europe in large numbers and influenced many artists, while photography changed what painting needed to do. The catalogue places it in Illustration. The format is landscape.
"Courtyard with stairs, gables, house doors, and windows" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing.
