National Gallery of Scotland.<br /><br />I had no idea who painted this, used the search words painting of cabbage field kept getting the same few artists, Pissarro being the top contender, looked at every Pissaro painting, 1531 to be exact realised not him. So looked at the picture again changed search words to painting of cabbage garden and voila...Arthur Miller popped up.<br /><br />Thanks for an enjoyable hour...will never forget now who painted this now!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577565695110273958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-89017526037065568502012-12-01T07:18:44.981+00:002012-12-01T07:18:44.981+00:00Katherine, I love this artist.

I got most of the info from Google (via an initial search on Bastien-Lepage) and most of the info was on this page (http://www.nationalgalleries.org/collection/artists-a-z/M/3315/artist_name/Arthur%20Melville/record_id/8935#.ULmtb4Ng_q0). Incidentally, I've long admired Arthur Melville's painting of the old Campanile in Venice - http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/melville-the-blue-night-venice-n05067.<br /><br />Really enjoying the 'Who painted this' series :)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17909161522406304080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-65277636401916252792012-12-01T03:12:50.615+00:002012-12-01T03:12:50.615+00:00This is beginners luck, and I have to be about th...This is beginners luck, and I have to be about the zillionth person to have identified the painting by now, as my knowledge of fine art would fit on the proverbial pin head. The light wasn't bright enough to have been European (unless it needs cleaning) and the clothing identified the Victorian period so I was stunned to find it so easily! There are not too many fine art paintings of cabbages, but loads of cabbage prints advertised on Google, and once I found the right print and its title, that led me to the Scottish National Gallery and Arthur Melville, the Cabbage Garden, 1877, and its provenance. Its painted in oils on canvas and a very scant 46 cms by 30.5 cms.<br />Sadly, as an Aussie, I did not come close to the Streeton so now I am off to find out more about Arthur Melville. I enjoy this quiz!spinningdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03211231649784777346noreply@blogger.com
