Sul dipinto

Jean Charles Ferdinand Humbert (1813-1881) was born in Geneva. He became the pupil of Ingres in Paris and later of Diday in Geneva. In 1842, he was awarded a medal in Paris and was a member of the St Petersburg Academy.

Humbert was essentially an animal painter and this work is a fine example of his output of the 1850s. The subject matter is inspired from the rustic life of the people in the Alps where he travelled with Calame and Diday. The interest in the rustic life is characteristic of the Realist movement emerged in the 1840s in France under the influence of Corot and Courbet, which spread in Europe throughout the 19th century.
