Cross of the Village of Bains au Mont-Dor 1831

Eugène Isabey's 1831 lithograph, "Cross of the Village of Bains au Mont-Dor," depicts a picturesque scene of a village nestled amongst the hills of Auvergne, France. The composition features a prominent cross standing in the foreground, surrounded by stone blocks, and a pair of figures conversing in the distance. This detailed work highlights the artist's interest in capturing the beauty and serenity of rural life, which is enhanced by the use of delicate lines and subtle shading. This artwork is considered a fine example of Romantic landscape art, and it is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
