{"title":"Agricola, Christoph Ludwig","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChristoph Ludwig Agricola (1665-1724)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a German landscape painter and etcher. He was born and died in Regensburg (Ratisbon).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgricola was born on 5 November 1665 in Regensburg in Germany. He trained, as many painters of the period did, by studying nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe spent a great part of his life in travel visiting England, the Netherlands and France, and residing for a considerable period in Naples, where he may have been influenced by Nicolas Poussin. He also stayed in Venice for several years around 1712, where he painted many works for Zaccaria Sagredo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough he primarily worked in gouache and oils, documentary sources show that he also produced a small number of etchings. He was a good draughtsman, used warm lighting and exhibited a warm, masterly brushstroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis numerous landscapes, chiefly cabinet pictures, are remarkable for their fidelity to nature, and especially for their skilful representation of varied phases of climate, especially nocturnal scenes and weather phenomena like thunderstorms. In composition, his style shows the influence of Nicolas Poussin: Agricola's work often displays idealistic scenes like Poussin's work. In light and colour, Agricola's work resembles that of Claude Lorrain. His compositions often include ruins of ancient buildings in the foreground, but his favourite foreground figures were men dressed in Oriental attire. He also produced a series of etchings of birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe died in Regensburg in 1724.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis pictures can be found in Dresden, Braunschweig, Vienna, Florence, Naples and many other locations in Germany and Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"agricola-christoph-ludwig-1667-1719-crossbill","title":"Agricola, Christoph Ludwig (1667-1719) - Crossbill","description":"\u003cp\u003eBird painting by German artist Christoph Agricola.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image, in JPEG format, that is 600dpi and 3736 pixels wide by 5496 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/agricola-christoph-ludwig\" title=\"Christoph Agricola\"\u003eChristoph Agricola\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52940537102666,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Agricola_ChristophLudwig_1667-1719_-Crossbill_main.jpg?v=1759348153"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/collections\/Agricola_Christoph_Ludwig_1667-1719_-_Crossbill-5954939.jpg?v=1759348024","url":"https:\/\/www.publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/agricola-christoph-ludwig.oembed","provider":"Public Domain Image Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
