Leon Richet: Landscape With Figures—19th-century French School
A charming oil on canvas by LéonRichet, depicting a countryside landscapebrought to life by a few figures and a dwelling nestledamong the vegetation.
In a beautiful harmony of deep greens andearthy tones, the artist sensitively captures a peaceful natural scenebathed in soft light. The composition and atmospheric treatmentreflect the influence of the Barbizon School, to which Richet’s workis closely linked.
Léon Richet (1847–1907),a student of Narcisse Diaz de la Peña, was a renowned Frenchlandscape painter who exhibited regularly at the Salon. He wasparticularly fond of landscapes of the Forest of Fontainebleau andintimate rural scenes.
The work is presented in a verybeautiful and substantial gilded frame with rich foliage andfloral decoration.
