The Satyr 1850

Charles François Daubigny's 1850 etching, "The Satyr," depicts a serene landscape, characterized by a winding river and a dense grove of trees. Daubigny, a prominent figure in the Barbizon school, is known for his atmospheric landscapes, often rendered in delicate tones and soft outlines. The print's subtle contrasts and focus on natural light evoke a sense of tranquility and peace. The Satyr, a mythical creature associated with nature, appears to be walking through the woods, adding a touch of allegory to this evocative scene.
