Zachary Taylor at Walnut Springs (1847)

This page presents "Zachary Taylor at Walnut Springs" (1847), created by William Garl Browne Jr.. About the period around 1847: The invention of lithography around 1796 and its spread in these decades made printed images cheaper and more varied. 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. It is listed in the Figurative collection. The image is in landscape orientation. Background on Figurative: Figurative art depicts people and recognisable scenes, and it has been central to European painting since antiquity. Portraits, group scenes, studies of the nude, and pictures of daily life all belong to figurative art.
