Topic: American Barbizon school


  
  Barbizon school - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Barbizon school (circa 1830–1870) of painters is named after the village of Barbizon near Fontainebleau Forest, France, where the artists gathered.
The Barbizon painters were part of a movement towards realism in art in reaction to the more formalized romantic movement of the time.
The leaders of the Barbizon school were Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, Théodore Rousseau, Jean-François Millet and Charles-Francois Daubigny; other members included Jules Dupré, Narcisse Virgilio Diaz, Henri Harpignies, Félix Ziem and Alexandre DeFaux.

 The Barbizon School & The Origins Of Impressionism - STEVEN ADAMS
The Barbizon School, which includes Corot, Daumer, Miller and Courbert, were at the forefront of landscape painting in mid 19th century France.
The key painters associated with the Barbizon School -- Corot, Millet, Rousseau and Courbet -- are among the finest landscape artists of the nineteenth century.
In this first survey of the Barbizon School for 20 years, Steven Adams re-evaluates French landscape painting in the half-century before Impressionism, placing this 'return to nature' against the background of the rapid industrialization and political crises of the period.

 Exhibition: Before Impressionism: The Barbizon School
Like the Impressionists who followed them, the painters of the Barbizon school, named after a small town in the forest of Foutainebleau, rejected more traditional ways of painting.
Instead, they drew their inspiration and subject matter directly from nature, often painting "en plein air" - literally "outdoors" - to capture the freshness and unspoiled beauty of the French countryside.
The paintings and prints of the Barbizon school reflect a reverence for the beauty of the natural world, as well as an appreciation of rural life in 19th-century France.
