EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century painting, titled "Field on Rain" by renowned French artist Theodore Rousseau (1812-1867), is a stunning representation of the Barbizon School's distinctive approach to landscape painting. Created around 1834 or 1835, this work showcases Rousseau's exceptional ability to capture the essence of nature, particularly the interplay between rain and sunlight. The Barbizon School, a group of French painters who sought refuge in the forest of Fontainebleau in the mid-19th century, is celebrated for its commitment to plein air painting and its focus on naturalism. Rousseau's "Field on Rain" exemplifies this movement, with its rich, textured brushstrokes and vibrant colors that bring the scene to life. The painting depicts a lush, green field dotted with trees, as rain showers give way to the appearance of a rainbow in the distance. The play of light and shadow, as well as the intricate details of the foliage and the subtle reflections in the puddles, are rendered with remarkable skill and sensitivity. This masterpiece, now a part of the National Gallery's collection in Prague, is a testament to Rousseau's artistic vision and his significant contribution to the Barbizon School. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of nature, and to reflect on the transformative power of rain and sunlight.
