About the artwork
This page presents "Städtchen am Fluß, rechts ein Heuwagen" (1763), created by Gerard van Rossum. Background on Drawings: Drawings range from quick preparatory sketches to finished works in pen, chalk, charcoal, graphite, or wash. Artists have long used drawings to plan paintings, sculptures, and buildings, so a sketch can show how an idea developed. About the period around 1763: The Enlightenment and the habit of the Grand Tour fed a wider interest in science, travel, antiquity, and natural history, and illustrators accompanied many expeditions. The eighteenth century began with the light, ornamental Rococo, especially in France, and moved towards the clarity and antique references of Neoclassicism by the end of the century. The catalogue places it in Drawings. The format is landscape.
"Städtchen am Fluß, rechts ein Heuwagen" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing.
