A Hoeck, Portrait Of An Italian Shepherd - Antique Oil Painting
Status:This item has been sold Sold by:Brave Fine Art
This late 19th-century oil painting by A Hoeck depicts a weather-beaten Italian shepherd sporting the various layers of his rugged daily garb. It’s an intense portrayal.
Numerous artists of this period were a little obsessed with those that worked the land in rural Italy. Travelling to study the epic ruins within the Roman Campagna, artists occasionally turned their attention to leathery shepherds. These earring-wearing, fur-covered wanderers captured the imagination and brought a gritty realism to the typical pastoral idyll. They controlled the landscape, living off their wits - like true romantic anti-heroes.
Little is known about the artist, A Hoeck, but they were probably German.
