Panoramic Landscape on the Outskirts of Paris 1829

Theodore Rousseau's "Panoramic Landscape on the Outskirts of Paris" (1829) is a striking example of the artist's early work in the Barbizon school, a movement known for its focus on realistic depictions of rural landscapes. The painting showcases the artist's ability to capture the subtle nuances of light and atmosphere, with a misty haze obscuring the distant cityscape of Paris and highlighting the foreground's rolling hills. This piece is an excellent example of the Barbizon School's emphasis on observation and detail in portraying the beauty of nature.
