Butte-aux-Vaches

19th-century French School oil on wooden panel. The work is smooth to the touch.

A landscape of the Barbizon School with fine and precise brushstrokes. The landscape respects the codes of the movement of the landscape painters of Barbizon with its striking chiaroscuro and the glorification of trees as majestic giants, guardians of the natural temple where men and their herds are passing guests. The antique wooden frame is in harmony with the natural palette of nature and the heavy silver sky.
