French Oil painting Barbizon Landscape signed canvas Debusy 1860 Evening light

Description: A beautiful oil on stretched canvas, French barbizon artist, signed Debusy and dating from circa 1860This large painting captures beautifully that early evening "golden light" that occurs in France, just as the sun is going down- the foreground as we walk through the forest is in shadow , cooling down after the heat of the day, in the distance the light changes across the path as we see the suns rays still casting its warm glow & light.Around the year 1820, Edmée and François Ganne set up a grocer’s shop in the hamlet of Barbizon. In 1827, Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot discovered the village, paving the way for other painters to come here, including Théodore Rousseau and Jean-François Millet. A whole generation of young artists decided to paint “from nature”, leaving their studios to work in situ, like their two great English precursors, John Constable and Turner. The name of the school was taken from the village of Barbizon, on the edge of the great forest of Fontainebleau near Paris, where the school’s leaders, Théodore Rousseau and Jean-François Millet, driven from Paris by poverty and lack of success, settled in 1846 and 1849, respectively. They attracted a large following of landscape and animal painters, some going to live at Barbizon, others visiting only infrequently.Please do see the photos -enlarge - they clearly show the detail and condition and are an integral part of the description.measurement 21.75 " x 18.25" or 55 cms x 46 cms Condition - Good antique condition - some light surface craque lure - very minimal, considering age - canvas intact no repairs or damage - Textural bark of tree, where heavier use of oils has been used - all intact and no flaking.We will of course ship Worldwide and on a trackable service.Should you have any questions we are here to help.
