1774
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Liber Veritatis: No. 38, The Repose of the Holy Family along a River is a 1774 by Richard Earlom, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet scene by a river. A woman sits under a big tree, holding a baby. Nearby, a man leans against a rock, looking off to the side. Another person kneels, holding a small animal. In the background, a castle sits on a hill. The artist used shading to make the figures stand out against the trees. The trees look thick and full, almost like they’re pressing in around the people. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro—it’s the technique of using strong light and dark contrasts.
Richard Earlom (1743–1822) was a British artist, born in London.
