About the Item

19th century French Barbizon school oil on canvas river view, possibly the Seine near Paris, by François Maury. The painting is signed top right, dated and there is a location which is as yet undeciphered. The painting is on a good stretcher with keys and presented in a gold patinated wood frame. This painting, a serene landscape painting, masterfully captures a tranquil riverside scene. The composition features a lush tree-lined path on the left, providing a natural contrast to the gentle flow of the river beside it. The soft blend of greens and blues creates a calming, immersive atmosphere. The sky, an expansive element of the painting, is subtly rendered with varying shades of blue and hints of white, suggesting a gentle, overcast day. A solitary figure walking along the path adds a sense of scale and quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to ponder the harmony of nature and solitude. The brushwork is expressive yet controlled, evoking movement in the river and life in the foliage. This piece stands out for its ability to convey peace and introspection, drawing the observer into its serene world. Very much a painting of the circle of Corot and the Barbizon school, today, Corot is considered the forerunner of the Barbizon movement which played a major role in establishing naturalism in French landscape painting. Other artists associated with the group include Théodore Rousseau, Jean-François Millet, Charles-François Daubigny, Narcisse-Virgile Diaz de la Peña, Jules Dupré, Constant Troyon, Léon Richet and Honoré Daumier. François Maury was listed in 1876, at the age of 15, at 1 rue des Trois-Mages in Marseille with the profession of painter. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Marseille, where he won first prizes in painting and drawing in 1880, and the following year the Jules Cantini prize. He continued his artistic training at the Académie Julian in Paris. From 1885 to 1905, he exhibited at the Salon des artistes Français, of which he became a member, and at the Salon d'Automne in Paris. It is mainly in landscape and portraiture that he asserts his talent. He painted the landscapes of his native Provence, Savoy and Paris. He animated some of his works with joyful scenes, curvy women, nymphs or legendary characters that were reminiscent of the painting of Adolphe Monticelli, by whom he was very influenced and whom he admired.
