Reproductions of Théodore Rousseau's Works
Théodore Rousseau was born in Paris in 1812 and passed away in 1867 in Barbizon. The painter is known as a representative and initiator of the Barbizon School. Contrary to the prevailing rules, Rousseau tried to break with academicism, which greatly limited creative freedom. Today, Theodore Rousseau's paintings are considered the precursor to Impressionism. He was among the first to leave the confines of his studio and paint nature outdoors. The artist conceived the concept of the 'intimate landscape,' rooted in his personal fascination with the Fontainebleau forest. His landscapes were painted in a very simple and natural manner. Rousseau paid utmost attention to colors, which he considered the strongest means of expression. Around the artist, an increasingly larger group of painters began to gather, and the Barbizon school counted among its members such magnificent personalities as Narcisse Díaz de la Peña, Jules Dupré, Constant Troyon, Charles-François Daubigny, Jean-François Millet, and Charles Jacque.
