CONCERT CHAMPETRE, 1734. CREATOR: JEAN-BAPTISTE PATER.

Concert Champetre, 1734. A day of leisure among the urban classes of elevated social rank on the outskirts of a city. Pater organised his concert into two clearly defined groups that occupy successive pictorial planes and form a diagonal that leads the eye into a misty landscape in the background. The principal group on the left is organised around a couple, of which the man plays the guitar while the woman points to a page in the musical score that she holds, presumably suggesting a piece for him to play. The other figures around them are grouped into pairs, chatting and commenting on the scene, apart from a young man who looks with interest at the musical score. In the group on the right, which is set against a monumental architectural element, the painter places considerable emphasis on small details such as the little girl in the foreground who attracts the dog’s attention with a bone.

LAKE GEORGE, 1860. CREATOR: JOHN FREDERICK KENSETT.

Lake George, 1860. Lake George, the largest in the Adirondacks region north east of New York state and initially called Lac du Sant Sacrament by the Jesuits, became a tourist attraction following the arrival of the railway in the 1850s. Apart from a beauty spot, it was a place imbued with historical associations and nostalgia, as it had been the scene of several military campaigns during the French and Indian War (1755-63) and during the American Revolution (1775-81).
