Landscape with Watermill
Jean-Jacques de Boissieuc, 1790
The Cleveland Museum of Art
Cleveland, United States
Boissieu’s pastoral landscapes are characterized by meticulous detail and sensitive variations in light and shadow skillfully created with brush and wash. Largely self-taught, Boissieu drew inspiration from the watermills, windmills, and rustic figures in Dutch art and the countryside around Lyon where he lived all his life.
