School of Barbizon

The Barbizon School is a group of landscape painters who gathered in the rural idyll of Barbizon from 1830 onwards in order to declare the natural beauty of the landscape as a pictorial motif. The artists did not strive for an ideal composition of a landscape created in the studio, but they pursued the goal of capturing the multifaceted moods of nature and depicting them with the natural light conditions. The Barbizon School is considered an important pioneer of Impressionism.
