Adolphe Joseph Thomas Monticelli (1824-1886) - Fête Champêtre - NG 2391 - Nationalgalerien Schottlands

Adolphe Monticelli (1824–1886) was a French painter whose finest works, derived from scenes by Antoine Watteau, are dreamlike images of courtly revels. Using thick daubs of paint, applied to achieve a swirling effect, he created a poetic, visionary expression with radiant lights and deep shadows. His work was much admired by Vincent van Gogh and had a greater impact on 20th-century art than on that of the 19th century.
