Object description:

Bidauld was one of the leading landscape painters in France during his lifetime. He and his generation created classical landscapes in the spirit of Claude Lorrain and Nicolas Poussin. This painting should not be regarded as a finished work; it is a study made during a visit to Italy. This, and similar sketches, were made as studies for larger paintings that were executed at home in the studio.
Bidauld hörde till de ledande landskapsmålarna i sin tids Frankrike. Han och hans generationskamrater skapade klassiska landskap i Claude Lorrains och Nicolas Poussins anda. Den här målningen är egentligen inte att betrakta som ett fullbordat konstverk, utan som en studie från en vistelse i Italien. Denna och liknande skisser användes som underlag i arbetet med de större målningar som utfördes hemma i ateljén.
