Description: | Signed: yes Description: Théodore Rousseau was considered the leader of the Romantic-Naturalist artists of the French Barbizon school that, in its practice of open air painting, anticipated Impressionism. This is a typically naturalistic evocation of a landscape at twilight. Rousseau often made studies outdoors directly based on the scene before him. A subject such as this apparently casual view of trees and grassland with the gathering clouds above suited both his interest in exploring the natural effects of light and weather in the French countryside, and his technique, which was rough, variable. He often reworked his studies in his Paris studio and the constant over-painting that often occurred has caused some of his works to darken considerably. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Rousseau, Théodore (French painter, 1812-1867) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9187... | Go to resource |
