About the painting
Eduard Schleich was initially influenced the late Romantic landscape paintings of Christian Ezdorf (1801-1851), Carl Rottmann (1797-1850) and Christian Morgenstern (1805-1867). From the 1830s he had success with simple mountain landscapes of Upper Bavaria and the Tyrol, conditioned by his study of 17th century Dutch and Flemish landscapes, particularly those of Peter Paul Rubens. In 1851 Schleich visited the Paris Salon with fellow artist Karl Spitzweg, where he was impressed by the works of the Barbizon School. In the same year he visited the Great Exhibition in London and encountered paintings by John Constable and Richard Parkes Bonington. Subsequently he settled in Munich and became one of the leading landscape painters of the Munich school. Schleich painted a number of such atmospheric views depicting cattle watering in a flat Bavarian landscape, with mountains rising in the background
