“Sunset in the Fontainebleau Forest”, Joseph Antoine Adrien Rousseau, Barbizon School, 19th century - France
Spectacular oil on canvas, work of the painter Joseph Antoine Adrien Rousseau in the first half of the 19th century. Signed in the lower left corner. Preserves the original frame. The work shows a clear romantic component, with the representation of the dark forest, creating a mysterious atmosphere. The landscape representation is very characteristic of romantic painting. Despite this being a French author, his colors and soft, velvety brushstrokes are closer to Dutch landscape painting from the 17th century. Dutch art already carried a certain romantic component that was expressed in the intensification of direct observation of nature. We do not find the agitated fantasy and explosion of color of the French, but this painting is even closer to mysticism. of German romanticism.
The landscape presented takes as reference the Fontainebleau forest, near a village called Barbizon. This small town gave its name to the Barbizon School (1830-1870), a group of landscape painters who, settled there, frequented the surroundings of the Fontainebleau forest as a source of inspiration. They are framed in French pictorial realism, which emerged as a reaction to the romanticism of artists such as Gericault or Delacroix. Théodore Rousseau, Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, Jean-François Millet and Charles-François Daubigny are considered founders of the Barbizon school.
These artists abandoned all formalism and academicism, in order to take nature and the landscape as a direct source of inspiration. They renounced the picturesque scenes of country life. They are characterized by a realistic style, but with a romantic influence. The protagonist of the works is always, almost exclusively, the landscape, with a direct study of nature, although sometimes the works were made later in studios.
They fought against the institutions, against an Academy controlled by the bourgeoisie, and were the standard bearers of a new freedom. They were excluded from the Salons, and expressed in their works a kind of rebellion against the industrialization of society. They strove to showcase the countryside and nature, and so settled in Barbizon, as polluting and chaotic cities grew around them.
The Barbizon School greatly influenced the rest of 19th century French painting, especially Impressionism, as during the late 1860s, the Barbizon painters caught the attention of the younger generation of French painters who They studied in Paris. Several of them visited the Fontainebleau forest to paint from life, among them Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Frédéric Bazille.
