About the Item

Provenance: 2014 Sale of Dr George Horst's collection (Philadephia) A major painter of the Barbizon School, he was born to Spanish parents, whom he lost at an early age. He debuted at the Salon in 1831, fascinated by the spirit, climate and themes of Romanticism, and began by painting allegorical or gallant subjects in the spirit of the 18th century, followed by bohemian or oriental scenes. His meeting with Théodore Rousseau encouraged him to take up landscape painting, and he settled in Barbizon, where he painted forest undergrowth, clearings and ponds, whose luminous effects are underlined by glazed impasto. A picturesque character, he was much loved by his Barbizon colleagues and young painters such as Renoir, Monet and Bazille. The Musée d'Orsay in Paris owns an important collection of his works. Museums: Amsterdam - Bayone - Beziers - Bordeaux - Chantilly - Chicago - Clamecy - Glascow - Grenoble - The Hague - Helsinki - Liège - Lille - London - Louviers - Montpellier - Montreal - Moscow - Mulhouse - Nancy - Nantes - Paris (Musée d'Orsay) - Reims - La Rochelle - Stockholm - Toulouse...
