Narcisse Virgilio Díaz de la Peña
Clairière - Original Etching by N. V. Diaz de la Pena - 1875

1875

About the Item

Clairière 1875s is an original print in etching technique, realized after Narcisse Virgilio Diaz (French Painter; 1807-1876) by Henri Paillard (Engraver and Sculptor French, 1846-1912) . Good conditions: as good as new. Image Container: 35 x 32 cm On the back of the artwork, News about Camille Corot. Narcisse Virgilio DIaz (1807-1876) was a French painter of the Barbizon School. Diaz was born in Bordeaux to Spanish parents. At the age of ten, Diaz became an orphan, and misfortune dogged his early years. At fifteen he entered the studios at Sèvres, first working on the decoration of porcelain and later turning to painting. Turkish and Oriental scenes attracted him, and he took to painting Eastern figures dressed in richly coloured garments; many of these paintings remain extant. Around 1831 Díaz encountered Théodore Rousseau, for whom he possessed a great veneration, despite the fact that Rousseau was four years younger. At Fontainebleau Díaz found Rousseau painting his wonderful forest pictures, and was determined to paint in the same way if possible. However, Rousseau was then in poor health, embittered against the world, and consequently was difficult to approach. Perhaps the most notable of Diaz's works are "La Fée aux Perles" (1857, housed in the Louvre); "Sunset in the Forest" (1868); "The Storm" and "The Forest of Fontainebleau" (1870, housed at Leeds). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds some two dozen works by Díaz, including another version of "The Forest of Fontainebleau," and many drawings and studies. Renoir once said "my hero was Díaz". In 1876, while visiting his son's grave, he caught a cold. He went to Menton in an attempt to recover his health, but on November 18 of that year he died.
