Temples of Paestum at Evening by Jules Coignet
Academician / French / Greco-Roman / Landscape / Paintings (Reproductions) - 1 year ago - troycapc
This is a reproduction of “Temples of Paestum at Evening” by Jules Louis Philippe Coignet. Coignet was a French landscape artist who was born in 1798 Paris. He won a gold medal at the Paris Salon when he was twenty-six and became a knight of the Legion of Honor in 1836. His advocacy of painting en plain air have many describing him as a predecessor of the Barbizon School. This view of the main temple of Poseidon in Paestum wonderfully captures the warmth of the ancient stones. Paestum is in the Italian Campania and was founded by the Greeks from Sybaris at the end of the seventh century Before the Current Era. The masterpiece is in the Neue Pinakothek in Munich.
