1898
unspecified
From the collection of Tate Britain
oltre i passi dell'uomo is a 1898 unspecified by Briton Rivière, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Tate Britain.
The painting shows a bear standing on a rocky outcrop, looking out over a sunset. The bear is in the center of the image, with its head turned to the left. The rocks are dark and jagged, and the sky behind the bear is a warm yellow and orange. In the bottom left corner of the image, there is a small orange sun setting behind the rocks. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the bear seeming to gaze out at the viewer. The painting is held at the Tate Britain, where you can see more works by Briton Rivière.
Briton Rivière (14 August 1840 – 20 April 1920) was a British artist of Huguenot descent. He exhibited a variety of paintings at the Royal Academy, but devoted much of his life to animal paintings.
