Description
Diaz de la Peña was a member of the Barbizon group, French artists who during the summers in the mid-1800s painted outdoors near the village of Barbizon, on the edge of the Forest of Fontainbleau not far from Paris. Diaz is known for a particular convention in his landscape scenes-“small, secluded clearings in the forest from which the observer looks through the broken silhouettes of leaves and branches as if from a shadowed room or a grotto, at patches of light or open fields beyond,” in the words of the art historian John Canaday.
