Did you know?
The Barbizon School, a group of French landscape painters, emerged in the mid-19th century and is considered a significant precursor to Impressionism. These artists, rejecting academic traditions, moved away from idealized landscapes to paint directly from nature, often in the Fontainebleau Forest. Their focus on realism, subdued palettes, and capturing the changing light and atmosphere profoundly influenced later generations of artists, leading towards modern landscape painting.
