ORIGINAL and beautiful signed antique French idyllic landscape painting from the 1800's. This is a Barbazon School piece, a wonderful oil on beveled board. 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 a subject in its own right, whether mythological or classical scenes. This piece is brilliant and our pictures do not do it justice. The overall dimensions are 11.25" x 7.5". This truly is a lovely piece.
The Barbizon school was active roughly from 1830 through 1870. It takes its name from the village of Barbizon, France.
