ORIGINAL and beautiful signed antique French idyllic lanscape painting from the 1800's. This is a Barbazon School piece and is a wonderful oil on canvas. Members of the Barbazon School came from different backgrounds and worked in a range of styles but they were drawn together by their passion for painting "en plein" air and their desire to elevate landscape painting from a mere background to mythological or classical scenes to a subject in its own right. This piece is brilliant and our pictures do not do it justice. The overall dimensions are 14" x 7.25". This truly is is a lovely piece.
The Barbizon school was active roughly from 1830 through 1870. It takes its name from the village of Barbizon, France.
