1849
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Landscape (recto); Studies of Animals (verso) is a 1849 by Antoine-Louis Barye, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a rough, quick landscape with a rocky shore and a few animals—maybe cows or sheep—near the water. The colors are muted, with browns and grays blending into the distance. The waves look choppy, and the land slopes down to the sea. On the back, there’s a loose drawing of a deer and another small animal, both sketched in pencil. The lines are light, like the artist was testing shapes. This style fits the movement called Romanticism.
Antoine-Louis Barye was a Romantic French sculptor most famous for his work as an animalier, a sculptor of animals. His son and student was the sculptor Alfred Barye.
