About the Item
One wonderful thing about this painting is its light. It’s pitch-perfect: if it were a tad
darker, it would be gloomy; a tad lighter, and it there would be less to discover. The joy of the fading sun is that it makes you look at things more intently. As your eyes follow the river into the distance and then meander back across the felds , you actually feel like you are right there, within of the scene, in nature. Rare is a painting that allows you to travel into a different world, and here is one of them.
The work is unsigned. Its stretcher bars of the painting bear the stamp of Etienne-Francois Haro “Fils”, a highly reputed Paris colour merchant, who was also a close friend of
Eugène Delacroix. Haro used this particular stamp between 1849 and 1882, when he
passed on the business to his sons. It to my mind certain that the work was painted by and established Paris-based artist in the 1850s or 60s – but by whom? My top contender would be Louis-Auguste Lapito (1803-1974), a friend of Corot who regularly painted in the forest of Fontainebleau and who was, according to Baudelaire in his essay “On nature”, one of the naturalist painters who unconsciously idealised nature. But this of course is only a hypothesis – I wish I could check with Baudelaire!
