About the artwork
Marinus Adrianus Koekkoek is the artist behind "Travellers on a riverside track at dusk", dated 1845. Background on Landscape: 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, 1845: 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 first half of the nineteenth century moved from Neoclassicism to Romanticism, which placed emotion, nature, and the sublime at the centre of painting. The catalogue places it in Landscape. The format is landscape.
"Travellers on a riverside track at dusk" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing.
