Rejecting the traditional artistic conventions of academic landscape painting, such as the Ideal, the Pastoral, and the Heroic, artists in the Barbizon School strived instead to depict an unmediated vision of nature. This brochure explores how the Barbizon region of France appealed to these artists for both its diverse landscapes and its reputation as an unspoiled natural haven. Color illustrations are featured of Museum works by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Asher B. Durand, George Inness, and others.
Brochure 16 pp.
