Woodland Landscape 1850

"Woodland Landscape" is a painting by Charles François Daubigny, a prominent figure in the Barbizon school, a group of French landscape painters who emphasized realism and direct observation of nature. Created in 1850, this artwork captures the essence of a woodland scene with a central bare-branched tree reaching towards a muted sky. Daubigny's loose brushstrokes and earthy palette evoke the tranquility and depth of the forest, showcasing the influence of the Barbizon school's naturalism and plein-air painting techniques.
