		About 1831 Diaz encountered Theodore Rousseau, for whom he entertained a great veneration, although Rousseau was four years his junior; but it was not until ten years later that the remarkable incident took place of Rousseau teaching Diaz to paint trees.
		Diaz followed him surreptitiously to the forest,wooden leg not hindering,and he dodged round after the painter, trying to observe his method of work.
		Diazs finest pictures are his forest scenes and storms, and it is on these, and not on his pretty figures, that his fame is likely to rest.
