This painting is a fantastic example of Brest's work and stands out amongst Victorian Venetian landscapes generally.

Germain Fabius Brest (1823-1900). French 19th century Brest was born and died in Marseilles. Similar to Corot and Delacroix in style, he was a painter of scenes with figures, landscapes and Orientalism. He was a pupil of Emile Loubon in Marseilles then of Troyon in Paris. Brest exhibited in the Paris Salon from 1851-1896. From 1855 he spent four years in Turkey. He rendered the atmosphere of Cafes, street and port scenes with rich detail. His balanced compositions are often dominated by architecture, particularly more classical views of Venice and the midi which he painted mainly between 1860- 1870. His Orientalist paintings are in public collections such as the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Marseille and Musée des beaux-arts de Béziers. He would often paint capriccios, making locations hard to determine.

Young Man with Two Dogs in a Landscape - British Edwardian art oil painting
Located in London, GB
This superb British Edwardian figurative landscape oil painting is by noted animal artist Edwin Noble. Painted in 1904 it is a large and detailed painting of a young man, kneeling in a grassy thicket with his two dogs, a lurcher and terrier. He is restraining the dogs whilst his ferret goes down a rabbit hole in the hedgerow. Two dead rabbits are already lying on the grass beside them. Beyond is a county landscape of fields and trees. The young man in his stripped shirt and waistcoat and the two white dogs really stand out in the mass of greenery around them as do the white wild flowers at their feet. The detail and brushwork are superb. This is an excellent example of Edwin Noble's work as an animal painter in the Edwardian period and also depicts country pursuits.
