artistic quiz

[Red Rose]

It was once referred to as "small pictures of domestic scenes" any help please

[kettledrum]

" IT " or "He" ? It sounds like a description of Vermeer's art.

[DSJ]

You will find 'small pictures of domestic scenes' in the biographic description of the works of Godfrey Schalcken, the German artist. Google his name & you will find it referring to candlelight . I prefer Kettledrum's answer, however.

[John Fox]

Could it be Genre painting. These are usually domestic scenes.
