Belle Rivière

19th century French School oil on canvas. The artwork is smooth to the touch.

A landscape of undergrowth influenced by the Barbizon school. The highlight in this work is the chiaroscuro game between this wide sparkling sky and the dense and darkened forest. Its characters are in harmony with nature and at the same time somewhat vulnerable relative to the size of the trees.
