The Barbizon School of Painters: Corot, Rouseau, Diaz, Millet, Daubigny, Etc

Viac o knihe

The group of French artists who lived around Barbizon has long captivated the artistic world, yet their story remains largely untold. This volume aims to present the biographies of these painters, accompanied by representations of their works that illustrate their methods and achievements. The author, lacking personal knowledge of the artists, offers a potentially less biased perspective than many French writers who have produced primarily laudatory articles and monographs, often brief or unsatisfactory. While some may question the claim of impartiality, the author has made a conscious effort to avoid extreme praise, ensuring that the accolades given are genuinely deserved.
