Description:: This work presents a pastoral landscape, bathed in soft and natural light. In the center, a group of cows quietly grazed near a stream, adding a peaceful dynamic to the picture. The majestic trees frame the scene, creating a captivating depth. The sky, nuanced with gray and blue, suggests a contemplative moment just before or after a shower. The texture of the foliage, meticulously executed, demonstrates a remarkable technical mastery. The shades of green, brown and blue blend harmoniously, enhancing the serene atmosphere. This painting is distinguished by its ability to capture the essence of a quiet moment in rural life, while letting the viewer glimpse the simple and timeless beauty of nature. The subtle contrast between light and shadow enriches the composition, making this work a perfect example of romantic pastoral art. Biography : Paul Vernon, born in 1796, was a student of Diaz and Théodore Rousseau. He exhibited at the Salon and is thus considered a Master of the Barbizon school. According to an extract from the Journal des deux monde, Journal des grands voyages published in 1880, he is described as such: "Paul Vernon is now a Master of those of the second generation. The first which is composed of Diaz, Corot, Rousseau etc... In Paul Vernon, talent is subdivided into two distinct ways: when he is himself, full of melancholic reveries, as befits a singer of the woods, as he was at Bas-Breau, as he is in the forest of Chambord and at Belles-Croix, there, the fanfares of the Pan Flute have muffled tones and the old oaks plunge into the atmosphere. He is an imitator of Rousseau, he is so in such a way that the most cunning expert does not see a thing, and does not know how to distinguish the Master from the pupil. I keep for the "good mouth" a realist painter of the most sincere and the most distinguished." Please ask us for a conditional reports and we will either respond to you by email or call you back.
