Octave Alfred Saunier

Octave Alfred Saunier is a Barbizon school artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This French artist painted quiet landscapes in watercolor around the 1860s–1880s. One of his works, “Landscape with river,” shows a calm river scene in soft blues and greens. Saunier’s brush captured the soft light of that era, when artists turned from grand history scenes to everyday places. Tap “Landscape with river” to step into the still water and misty banks he loved to paint.
