Using internet searches and any other resources, find at least 12 examples of eighteenth and nineteenth century landscape paintings. Consider the same observations as in exercise 1.
Wooded landscape 18th century - Verburgh, Dionys (1722 - 1722) (Dutch)
A picture of landscape orientation. Bordered by trees with a cloudy sky, river in background, sandy lane in foreground. People/statue in bottom right of the image, walls & buildings are small in the background. The mood? looks like a group of people on a day out to look at the statue.
River Scene with Bathers - Vernet, Claude Joseph (1714 - 1789) (French)
A picture of landscape orientation. A shallow river winding through a valley lined with trees, there is a cloudy sky, the image is bodered with trees. There are bathers in and out of the water swimming and cleaning clothes as well as bystanders. There are larger/nearer figures in the bottom right of the image with smaller figures in the bottom third of the image. The mood? a relaxed, sunny day of mostly leisure.
Cicero and his Friends, Atticus and Quintus - 1714 - 1782 (Welsh)
Again landscape orientation. A riverside location with trees & hills in the background and again bordered by trees. Three people in the bottom right corner of the frame looking patiently at something. The mood? relaxed and comfortable.
