Pond at Gylieu 1854 - 1869

"Pond at Gylieu" is an oil painting by Charles François Daubigny created between 1854 and 1869. Daubigny was a prominent French landscape painter who was known for his en plein air style. The painting depicts a tranquil scene of a pond in the countryside, surrounded by lush greenery and a meandering path leading into the distance. Daubigny's use of soft, impressionistic brushstrokes and a subtle palette of colors creates a sense of peace and serenity. The reflection of the sky and trees in the water adds to the beauty of the scene. This work exemplifies Daubigny's mastery of capturing the fleeting moments of nature.
