G. Montagny - Lazy River - Barbizon School - Circa 1865

Barbizon School inspired landscape painted around 1865. It depicts a magnificent naturalist scene of a lazy river and lush wood under a cloudy sky reflecting intense colours at dusk. The artist's brush technique and use of light would make him a precursor to the impressionist movement.
