David Croal Thomson Bücher

The group of French artists from Barbizon has long captivated the artistic world, yet their story remains largely untold. This volume aims to present the biographies of these painters, accompanied by representations of their works that reflect their methods and achievements. The author, lacking personal acquaintance with these artists, offers a potentially less biased perspective compared to previous writings, which have often been overly laudatory and brief. While some may question the impartiality of the assessments, the author has consciously avoided extreme praise, ensuring that any accolades given are well-deserved. This work serves as a valuable resource for those unfamiliar with the Barbizon School's influence. Forgotten Books, the publisher, specializes in reproducing rare and classic texts, employing advanced technology to maintain the original format while addressing imperfections in aged copies. Although some flaws from the original may persist, most are repaired to preserve the historical integrity of the work.
