1804
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Bringing in the Sheep is a 1804 by Charles Jacque, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two people walking with a flock of sheep. The man carries a stick, and the woman holds a basket. Trees and dry grass fill the background, with sheep scattered around them. Notice how the artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and life. The scene feels real but also a little dreamy. Check out Romanticism to see how artists used emotion and nature in their work.
Charles-Émile Jacque (23 May 1813 – 7 May 1894) was a French painter of Pastoralism and engraver who was, with Jean-François Millet, part of the Barbizon School. He first learned to engrave maps when he spent seven years in the French Army.
