Bidauld’s oil sketch was painted on the spot during the French artist’s stay in Italy (1785-90). The artist made numerous such studies from which he later painted large historical landscapes in the neo-classical style. Painting from nature in oils was one of the ways in which young landscape artists developed their skills. Inscriptions / Translations: Inscribed on the reverse by the artist: Le dernière Cascade de L' Isola di Sora, vue de Louin 1787. |
