About this work
François Marius Granet painted this in 1839, aged 64. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
How it was made
- Oil paint
- Pigment ground in a drying oil, usually linseed. It dries slowly, so painters could blend on the canvas, build up thin translucent glazes, and rework a picture over weeks. Canvas replaced wooden panels in the 1500s because it is lighter and can be rolled.
François Marius Granet
French, 1775–1849 · Born and died in Aix-en-Provence.
