Autumn Landscape 1876

"Autumn Landscape" is a painting by Narcisse-Virgilio Diaz from 1876. It depicts a winding path through a wooded landscape, with vibrant autumn foliage dominating the scene. Diaz, a prominent figure in the Barbizon school, was known for his naturalistic depictions of nature, capturing the subtle nuances of light and shadow in a way that inspired later Impressionist artists. The painting's muted palette and loose brushstrokes create a sense of tranquility and evoke the serene beauty of a late autumn day.
