Adolphe Potter
Antique landscape sunset and cows, Les Vaches by Adolphe Potter

1850's

About the Item

Les Vaches by Adolphe Potter (1835-1911) Antique countryside sunset oil painting with cows on wood, signed in the bottom right Adople Potte (1835-1911). This distinctive oil painting on smooth board in an old frame clearly demonstrates the artist's talent. The contrast between the significant light of the setting of the sun, highlighted by impasto enforced oils and the darkened shadows of the marsh/meadow where the cows quench their thirst before sundown, is quite striking. The yellow hues of the sun pay on the reverse of the clouds while in the fore the clouds are coloured lilac casting the last light over the meadow whilst the darkened blue waters of the marsh echo the lighter blues of the sky giving a balanced composition helped by the authentic shape of the trees and their reflections in the water.
