Barbizon school (sh)




Group of 19th-century French landscape painters.

They were part of a larger European movement toward naturalism that made a significant contribution to realism in French landscape painting. Led by Theodore Rousseau and Jean-Fran?ois Millet, they attracted a large following of painters who came to live at Barbizon, a village near Paris; most notable of this group were Charles-Fran?ois Daubigny, Narcisse-Virgile Diaz de la Pe?a, Jules Dupre, Charles-emile Jacque, and Constant Troyon. Each had his own style, but all emphasized painting out-of-doors directly from Nature, using a limited palette, and creating atmosphere or mood in their landscapes.
