He became a pupil of Corot in France and subsequently spent four years working for the Minton porcelain factory. He settled in London in 1870 and was engaged as a tutor to the royal family. \r\n\r\nRischgitz was essentially a landscape painter in the tradition inaugurated by Corot and the Realist movement in France. It depicts a group of people harvesting grapes in a sunny day. This painting is a fine example of his oeuvre characterised by a free brushwork, warm palette and subtle light effects. This type of painting was particularly popular in the second half of the 19th century.","physicalDescription":"A group of people harvesting grapes in a vineyard with a house surrounded by trees in the mid distance.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Rischgitz, Paul Edouard","id":"A19291"},"association":{"text":"painter (artist)","id":"AAT25136"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"oil paint","id":"AAT15050"},{"text":"canvas","id":"AAT14078"}],"techniques":[{"text":"oil painting","id":"AAT178684"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Oil on canvas","categories":[{"text":"Paintings","id":"THES48917"}],"styles":[{"text":"Swiss School","id":"x31273"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2007BP0644"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"B","id":"THES304892"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"oil paintings","id":"AAT33799"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Geneva","id":"x32975"},"association":{"text":"painted","id":"x30138"},"note":"probably"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1857","earliest":"1857-01-01","latest":"1857-12-31"},"association":{"text":"painted","id":"x30138"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Bequeathed by Rev.
