The artist out of doors
About
Following the three-week online course, The artist out of doors, Aliki Braine, leads a guided walking tour of the collection exploring the history of artists painting landscapes outside.
While en-plein-air painting came into its own with the art of the Impressionists in the 19th century, the tradition of making images of landscapes outside is one that can be traced back to the 16th and 17th centuries. Indeed, Karel van Mander, in 1604, encouraged artists to go to the countryside: ‘There we will look at many views, all of which will help us to create a landscape…’
Aliki Braine will trace the historical practice of making landscape paintings out of doors, starting with its development in the late 16th century to Impressionism, and explore the relationship artists have had with the landscape they have depicted.
