French Landscape
Charles-Francois Daubigny, The
Water’s Edge, Optevoz, circa 1856 |
French painters over
the centuries have taken to landscape with a zeal arguably
unmatched by artists of other nationalities. Their engagement
with nature is illustrated in an exhibition at the Mount Holyoke
College Art Museum this fall titled Valenciennes,
Daubigny, and the Origins of French Landscape Painting, on view from
September 7 through December 12. The exhibition traces the
depiction of landscape from the late Renaissance—when
it first emerged from the background of narrative representation—to
the eve of Impressionism in the nineteenth century. more>
