Description
The Fontainbleau Forest is the canvas for many an artist at the Barbizon School of Art.
"Barbizon was more than just a place; it was an encompassing motif. Like other great motifs, it transcended geography. Inspirational and nurturing, even despite daily trials of frostbitten fingers at winter�s dawn or sunburned hands at summer�s midday, Barbizon answered the quest for landscape�s metaphoric power. The artists of the Barbizon School showed us the rapidly disappearing rural path to painterly �truth� well before the Impressionists trod the same forest and fields, carrying with them their factory-made satchels with metallic tubes of new pigments and their modern ways of seeing. Landscape painting was no longer subservient to history painting. It was history in the making."
