Theodore Rousseau’s "Landscape in Auvergne (near Puy)" (1830) is a quintessential example of the Barbizon School's focus on capturing the natural world. The painting features a panoramic view of the French countryside, with rolling hills, a winding river, and a distant village. Rousseau’s brushstrokes are loose and expressive, conveying the atmospheric quality of the landscape and the subtle changes in light. The painting is held at the Musée départemental de l'École de Barbizon, France.
